Staged Hybrid Single Lumen Reconstruction (TIGER) in Management of Chronic Symptomatic Complex Type B Aortic Dissection, Techniques, and Literature Review.

Background: Endovascular intervention for chronic symptomatic type B aortic dissection (CS-TBAD) induces aortic wall stress with negative hemodynamic cardiovascular consequences. CS-TBAD risks increased morbidity and mortality due to septum maturation with significant impact on false lumen modulation, and partial lumen thrombosis conveying the worst outcome. The aim of the TIGER technique is total aortic remodeling with true lumen expansion, false lumen regression and complete thrombosis, and stabilization of overall aortic diameter.
