lenge that interventionists are facing is the imponant task of objectively elucidating the "real" benefits, risks, and complications of thoracic stent-grafts through rigorous, prospective, controlled investigations of each possible disease application. Only after this type of scientific scrutiny is performed can clinicians confidently counsel patients with accurate infonnation regarding their therapeutic options.
