Endovascular Stent-graft Treatment of Type A Dissection: Case Report and Review of Literature

Abstract

We report a successful endovascular stent-graft treatment of a patient with type A dissection with primary entry tear at the ascending aorta. Simultaneous coronary stenting was performed. A literature review was performed and the possible use of endovascular treatment for ascending aortic dissections is discussed.

Endovascular stent grafting for ascending aorta repair in high-risk patients

“…Development of devices dedicated to treat ascending aortic pathology is needed to improve outcomes. (J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 2014;-: [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] Video clip is available online.…”

Thoracic endovascular repair for acute type A aortic dissection: operative technique

“…A guide wire was passed from the right femoral vein, across both atria, the left ventricle and then into the ascending aorta. Senay and colleagues reported successful endovascular stent graft treatment with simultaneous coronary stenting in a patient with type A aortic dissection and the primary entry tear located in the ascending aorta (18).…”

Endovascular repair of ascending aortic dissection

“…The first report of the use of a stent graft for Stanford type A aortic dissection was published in October, 2007 [3].…”
