A Challenging Case of Endovascular Repair of a Thoracic Aortic Rupture
Author(s): Amine Fikani*, Fadi Farhat and Antoine Millon
Endovascular procedures are currently treating more complex cases. In this report, we present the case of a complex
aortic rupture in a patient with a type B aortic dissection. We describe step by step the procedure and we describe
other alternative surgical and endovascular techniques. We believe that as collective experience grows, endovascular
treatment limits can be pushed to replace surgery in more complex cases... View more»
