  • Title: Endovascular management for ruptured Stanford B acute aortic dissection.
    Author: Aoki A, Suezawa T, Sangawa K, Tago M.
    Journal: Gen Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 2011 Feb; 59(2):123-8. PubMed ID: 21308441.
    Abstract:
    Surgery for a complicated Stanford B acute aortic dissection, such as rupture or malperfusion, is still a challenge. We undertook endovascular therapy for ruptured Stanford B acute aortic dissection in two patients. A homemade stent graft was deployed in an 84-year-old woman with a massive mediastinal hematoma; and an aortic extender of Excluder was used for a 76-year-old man with left hemothorax. Both patients recovered without major complications. Careful follow-up is mandatory. Endovascular therapy for a ruptured Stanford B acute aortic dissection seems feasible and efficient.
