Article Synopsis
- This study compares two surgical techniques for treating Stanford type B aortic dissections with poor proximal landing zones: 3D printing-assisted extracorporeal pre-fenestration and Castor integrated branch stent.
- In a retrospective analysis of 84 patients, both methods had a 100% surgical success rate; however, the 3D printing group had longer surgery times.
- The 3D printing approach also showed lower rates of postoperative complications, like cerebral infarction, compared to the Castor method, indicating it may be a safer option despite the longer operative time.
We report a case of Denys-Drash syndrome, a disorder characterized by male pseudohermaphroditism, congenital nephrotic syndrome, and early renal failure. The patient received dialysis therapy from 15 days of age until his death at the age of 6 months. DNA analysis was performed on the WT1 gene, and a missense point mutation was detected in exon 8 (R366H).
