Entry closure with endovascular stent-graft placement may be a safe and effective method for the treatment of patients with aortic dissection. It could be an alternative to conventional surgical intervention in selected patients with chronic dissection. However, strict patient selection and close follow-up seem mandatory in patients with acute dissection receiving Z stent-based stent-grafts. Stent-graft repair should be delayed for acute type B dissection without complications.
