Abstract
The field of surgical aortic repair has advanced significantly over time, transitioning from aneurysm ligation to homografts, then to Dacron grafts, and now endovascular procedures. With new endovascular technologies emerging, they are likely to dominate the field of aortic surgery, but surgeons must exercise caution and not abandon their open-surgery skills. Open repair of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm surgery continues to be a durable operation. As the field continues to evolve, further research is needed to advance this complex surgical endeavor.
