Stent-assisted balloon-induced intimal disruption and relamination in complicated chronic residual type B aortic dissection after frozen elephant trunk treatment

CONCLUSIONS: the presence of a proximal artificial neck without proximal tears in the aortic arch can be a great advantage for subsequent endovascular interventions. It is therefore desirable to design a common surgical strategy within an aortic team to achieve a more favorable preoperative anatomy.KEY WORDS: Chronic dissection, Frozen elephant trunk, STABILISE.PMID:34795108
