Abstract:
Re-expansion of thrombosed false lumen after aortic dissection due to collateral retrograde flow from the aortic branches has rarely been reported. Surgical or endovascular local management such as ligation or occlusion of culprit arteries may not be effective in case retrograde blood flow to the false lumen might occur again from another branch after the operation. Here, we report a 68-year-old woman with re-expansion of the thrombosed false lumen after acute type B aortic dissection due to collateral retrograde flow from the aortic branches successfully treated with tranexamic acid therapy and antihypertensive therapy.
