Type Ib endoleak repaired with a thoracic endovascular graft inside previous visceral debranching bypass in a patient with chronic type B aortic dissection
Abstract
We present the case of a patient with chronic type B aortic dissection with a previous iliac to visceral debranching graft and thoracoabdominal endograft who, because of a type Ib endoleak and aortic diameter enlargement, required a complex solution involving placement of a thoracic endovascular graft inside a Dacron graft with a 180° curved shape in three-stage surgery. At 9 months of follow-up, he had no evidence of type I endoleaks, and the aortic diameter had decreased.
