Stroke and silent cerebral infarction are a real risk with thoracic enodvascular aortic repair (TEVAR). The investigator propose to prospectively observational study with enrolment of all patients undergoing TEVAR for thoracic and thoracoabdominal conditions including aneurysmal degeneration, Type B dissection and acute aortic syndromes over a 24 month period, equating to a minimum of 20-30 patients per year. Patients undergoing juxtra-renal and infra-renal aortic stenting will form a control group.
