Objective: To explore the efficacy and shortcoming of endovascular therapy with mainly endovascular graft in treating disorders occurring in the thoracic or thoracoabdominal aorta.
Methods: Total 137 cases with great vessel disorders including dissections, aneurysm, pseudoaneurysm, aortic deceleration injury and coarctation were treated by endovascular technique. The lowest lesion located between the celiac and mesenteric arteries.
Current surgery to treat acute type A aortic dissection involving an intimal tear in the ascending aorta consists of resection and replacement, but mortality is high. We report the case of a 46-year-old female patient with Marfan syndrome who presented with excruciating retrosternal pain and breathing distress after a bowel movement with stress. Magnetic resonance imaging and multicolour sonography showed type A aortic dissection extending from the aortic root to the right iliac artery, with intimal tears in the ascending aorta above the sinotubular junction, the distal arch beyond the left subclavian artery and the isthmic region.
