Multilayer stents are already being used for the treatment of peripheral aneurysms. In France, they are currently under evaluation in the treatment of thoraco-abdominal aneurysms. We have used multilayer stents to treat aneurysmal evolution of thoraco-abdominal residual type B dissection. Third month computed tomography (CT)-scan showed a false channel no longer patent. Multilayer stents are promising but it is too soon to draw conclusions on the use of this device in the treatment of patent false channels.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
