  • Title: Endovascular correction of a distal re-entry in an abdominal aorta dissection.
    Author: Da Rocha M, Miranda S, Burrell M, Riambau VA.
    Journal: Interact Cardiovasc Thorac Surg; 2009 Mar; 8(3):359-61. PubMed ID: 19074910.
    Abstract:
    The re-entries are still a problem for the endovascular treatment of aortic dissections. A 60-year-old man was treated for an abdominal aortic dissection using aortic monoiliac endograft until the left iliac external artery and a femoro-femoral bypass with occlusion of the right common iliac artery and the left hypogastric artery. In his third year of follow-up, a re-entry tear in the right hypogastric ostium was diagnosed with pressurization of the aortic and common iliac aneurysmatic sac, that required correction. A self-expandable covered stent in a 'U' configuration was implanted, connecting the right external and internal iliac arteries, with preservation of the pelvic circulation, and exclusion of the aneurysmatic sac. In conclusion, the use of a flexible stent graft is a safe alternative, and simplifies some procedures in complex circumstances.
