Nonsurgical Reconstruction of Thoracic Aortic Dissection by Stent–Graft Placement

Abstract

These preliminary observations suggest that elective, nonsurgical insertion of an endovascular stent-graft is safe and efficacious in selected patients who have thoracic aortic dissection and for whom surgery is indicated. Endoluminal repair may be useful for interventional reconstruction of thoracic aortic dissection.
