Retrograde Aortic Dissection after Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair for Descending Aorta: 2 case reports / 대한흉부외과학회지

ABSTRACT

In current era, thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has gained popularity. But, it bears the risk of serious complications such as treatment failure from endoleak, retrograde aortic dissection caused by injury of aortic wall at landing zone, or aortic rupture resulting from stent graft infection. We report two cases of surgical repair of retrograde aortic dissection after TAVAR applied to acute Stanford type B aortic dissection or traumatic aortic disruption.
