Abstract

We report a case of a 58-year-old patient with a complicated type B aortic dissection who developed acute visceral malperfusion after placement of a thoracic aortic stent graft from the true to the false lumen. He underwent an urgent endovascular revision that involved septal fenestration and distal extension of the stent graft into the true lumen.
