Delayed Type A Dissection after Primary Successful Interventional Treatment with Endoluminal Stent Graft of the Descending Thoracic Aorta

Thoracic aortic aneurysm expansion due to late distal stent graft‐induced new entry

“…However, although the procedure is associated with lower mortality and morbidity in comparison to open surgery, there are possible complications, such as stroke, paraplegia, and endoleaks or access‐related complications. In addition, several cases have been reported of retrograde dissection , or antegrade complications such as distal stent graft‐induced new entry (dSINE), leading to aneurysmal degeneration . Stent graft‐induced new entry (SINE) was previously defined as a new tear caused by the stent‐graft itself, excluding those created by natural disease progression or any iatrogenic injury from the endovascular manipulation .…”

“…Another major concern associated with this minimally invasive procedure is whether the stiff stent graft or endovascular manipulation would injure the aorta. This may lead to the potentially lethal complication of retrograde ascending aortic dissection [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12].…”
