Abstract:
Objective:To explore the operative indications, methods, curative effects and clinical prospect of Endovascular Graft Exclusion (EVGE) for descending thoracic aortic dissection (TAD). Methods:Under dynamic supervision of DSA, an EVGE with a stent graft complex of 130 44 mm was performed successfully on a 75 year old man with an aortic dissection (DeBakey ⅢB type). Results:Following the operation, DSA revealed that the intimal tear of the dissection was excluded by the endoluminal stent graft complex and the false lumen disappeared. The postoperative one week and one month, Duplex scan and CTA revealed that the stent graft complex was patent and had an inner diameter of 36 mm, without any migration and torsion. The false lumen of dissection was full of thrombi. The patient was discharged in a week. One month postoperative follow up showed that the patient was recovered to his usual normality. Conclusion:The indications for EVGE are DeBakey ⅢB type aortic dissections with the intimal tear, EVGE is a minus invasive method with a firmly curative effects, its clinical prospect will be very bright.
