| Popis: | Endovascular stent grafting is an innovative technique for the treatment of acute type B aortic dissections. Proper patient selection, with regard to treatment as well as the use of experienced centers is necessary for successful results. We present a case in which a 50year-old male patient who suffered from an acute type B dissection was treated by endovascular repair in another hospital. Due to the insertion of an undersized proximal stent graft, improper sealing was obtained resulting in a type I endoleak. The patient was transferred to our hospital where a combined surgical and endovascular repair was successfully performed to treat the endoleak. We suggest considering this combined approach when the thoracic dissections/aneurysms involve the aortic arch. |
