Summary
This case study highlights the successful use of the Ascyrus Medical Dissection Stent (AMDS) in a complex aortic dissection. The AMDS promoted true lumen expansion in a patient with prior thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR).
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Surgery
- Vascular Endovascular Therapy
- Aortic Disease Management
Background:
- Type A aortic dissection is a life-threatening cardiovascular emergency.
- Management is evolving towards hybrid and endovascular approaches, especially for high-risk patients.
- Prior thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) can complicate subsequent aortic events.
