Abstract

Acute aortic dissection with malperfusion syndrome is associated with poor clinical outcomes, and surgical treatment for complicated descending aortic dissections is associated with a high risk of operative mortality. Endovascular repair is emerging as a good alternative to surgery. Endovascular repair for a descending aortic dissection with malperfusion syndrome offers good clinical outcomes because of technical and anatomical benefits. Here, we report a case of descending aortic dissection and malperfusion syndrome in the left common iliac artery that was successfully treated with an aortic stent graft and peripheral stent.
