Stent-graft Insertion in High Risk Patients with Aortic Dissection Including Intimal Tear of the Aortic Isthmus: A case report / 대한흉부외과학회지

ABSTRACT

Recently, stent-graft insertion has been widely used along with surgery for treatment of thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysm. However, use of stent-graft insertion is controversial in descending aortic dissection. We report here on our experience of a patient who received a stent-graft for descending aortic dissection that nearly ruptured. Based on CT findings at three months follow up, results were satisfactory.
