Abstract

The goal of thoracic endograft placement in type B aortic dissection is to prevent aneurysmal degeneration and other complications. Although TEVAR is a highly effective tool for managing type B aortic dissection, many patients will require additional interventions. In this article, we present a case-based review of techniques for the management of persistent false lumen perfusion and stent-graft induced new entry tears after TEVAR for aortic dissection.

Keywords: aortic dissection; endograft; endograft complications; false lumen; secondary interventions after TEVAR.
