Article Synopsis
- The study explores the use of a low-profile stent-graft for treating complicated aortic dissections, aiming for a less invasive percutaneous approach compared to traditional methods.
- In a trial involving 15 patients, the stent-graft was successful in excluding the entry tear in 87% of cases and achieving femoral closure in 93% with minimal complications.
- While the overall results are promising, the 30-day mortality rate was 27%, indicating the need for further research to improve outcomes in this patient population.
