Anatomic feasibility of a modular Endo-Bentall stent graft system for type A aortic dissection

Objective: The implementation of thoracic endovascular aortic repair in patients with type A aortic dissection has been strictly constrained due to the pulsatile movement and distensibility and the insufficient length of landing zones on ascending aorta. The most prevalent anatomical limitation is the insufficient length of proximal and distal landing zones. We propose a modularly designed Endo-Bentall stent graft system to broaden the scope of thoracic endovascular aortic repair in the ascending aorta by covering intimal tears in the aortic root and ascending aorta and reconstructing coronary arteries.
