Endovascular Approach to Severe Acute Type B Aortic Dissection.

Acute aortic dissection (AAD) is an important emergency that should be identified promptly. The classification of AAD follows two different systems: Stanford (which defines lesions as types A, on the ascending aorta, or B, on the descending aorta) and DeBakey, which also accounts for the extension of the aortic dissection. We present a notable case of a 63-year-old male who presented with a history of abrupt abdominal pain radiating to the dorsal region for endovascular treatment.
