Abstract:
We report two cases of type A acute aortic dissection in which the traditional ascending aorta replacement was completed by aortic arch stenting to achieve a complete treatment and to avoid the risks that are connected to aortic arch replacement. Correct deployment of the stent was evaluated through an endoscope inserted in the transverse arch, which avoided fluoroangiography and the involvement of a radiologic team.
