Treatment of visceral malperfusion in acute type B aortic dissection by percutaneous endovascular fenestration using a stent, with additional stenting of the true lumen.

We report a case of endovascular fenestration with stenting for visceral malperfusion in ABAD. One stent was inserted across the intimal flap to keep the fenestrated site open, and another stent was placed into the narrowed true lumen. This therapeutic strategy may be feasible for ABAD with acute malperfusion.
