  • Title: Percutaneous recanalization of a renal artery in aortic dissection.
    Author: Lacombe P, Mulot R, Labedan F, Jondeau G, Barré O, Chagnon S, Judet O, Tcherdakoff P.
    Journal: Radiology; 1992 Dec; 185(3):829-31. PubMed ID: 1438771.
    Abstract:
    Chronic renal failure acutely worsened in a patient with a type B aortic dissection. Aortography revealed an occlusion of the left renal artery without renal intimal tear. Percutaneous recanalization, performed with a self-expandable stent, resulted in improvement in the renal function. This technique offers a new therapeutic choice in patients with visceral complications of aortic dissection.
