Summary
This study presents a novel endovascular technique for treating acute mesenteric ischemia in patients with chronic type B aortic dissection. Undersized stent grafts successfully restored true lumen flow, improving organ perfusion and patient outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Surgery
- Vascular Surgery
- Interventional Radiology
Background:
- Chronic type B aortic dissection poses significant risks, particularly when complicated by acute ischemia.
- Mesenteric ischemia in this context is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates.
