Coil embolization of persistent false lumen after stent graft repair of type B aortic dissection

Abstract

Patent false lumen after endovascular stent graft treatment of type B aortic dissection is a predictor for late death and retreatment. Between June 2008 and March 2010, five men with patent false lumen, due to a type B dissection previously treated with thoracic stent graft, underwent endovascular coiling treatment. Within a 30-day period, there were no deaths or major complications. The follow-up duration ranged from 1 to 22 months (mean 10.6 ± 8.5). Endovascular coiling of patent false lumen after endovascular stent graft treatment for type B aortic dissection avoided the risk of rupture or death due to secondary aneurysm formation.

Influence of distal entry tears in acute type B aortic dissection after thoracic endovascular aortic repair

“…[34][35][36] Repairing all entry tears might benefit selected patients, which involves a question whether all entry tears should be repaired at the initial therapy. Management of distal entry tears in type B aortic dissection should be individualized according to the dissection anatomy.…”

False lumen embolization as a rescue technique in the setting of acute and chronic dissecting aneurysms as adjunct to thoracic endovascular aortic repair

“…Norberto et al 19 and Pellenc et al 20 showed that thrombosis of the false lumen after TEVAR for TBAD promotes aortic remodeling. Watanabe et al 21 showed that aortic remodeling after TEVAR decreases the risk of aortic adverse events.…”

Embolization of Persistent False Lumen Through Reentry Tear in a Patient Who Underwent Hemiarch Replacement Operation Due to Type A Dissection

“…Norberto and colleagues [8] introduced the FL coil embolization technique as the subsidiary treatment for patients who primarily underwent stent graft repair of type B dissection. However, unlike their case reports, our case introduces a primary aortic pathology correction through the FL tract by entering the reentry tract that was located at the ascending aorta.…”
