[Stenting of uncomplicated type B aortic dissection].

Conservative treatment of uncomplicated type B aortic dissection is associated with low short-term mortality. However long-term mortality and complication rates are high, suggesting the need for more aggressive treatment. Studies suggest that combining medical treatment with thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is associated with a better prognosis.

A symptomatic pseudoaneurysm caused by stent fracture in the external iliac artery.

Pseudoaneurysms, as a result of endovascular stent fracture, are a rare yet important vascular surgery complication. A 64-year-old man presented with a painful mass in the left groin with accompanying critical ischemia of the left leg. Diagnostic angiography revealed a pseudoaneurysm caused by stent fracture in the left external iliac artery.
