Secondary dissection in the descending aorta after endovascular therapy may demand subsequent interventional procedures. This can set a particularly significant challenge for the endovascular specialist. When implanting an aortic prosthesis, a sufficient contact between the covered segment and the healthy vessel wall is advisable. However, our case shows that, in individual cases, it is indeed efficient to place an aortic stent graft on top of the distal end of the dissection. This is proven by a three-year follow-up CT-angiography.

Complicated Type A intramural hematoma involving the arcus aorta requires emergency correction of the aortic arch. Surgical options include reimplantation of the brachiocephalic vessels as an island to a vascular graft, debranching aortic arch surgery, and Kazui technique. This report describes a modified technique for aortic arch repair in a patient with vascular diameter mismatch between the ascending and descending aorta, as well as an intimal tear between the brachiocephalic vessels.

Abstract Purpose To compare the accuracy of non-electrocardiogram (ECG)-gated CT angiography (CTA), single-diastolic-phase ECG-gated CTA, and full-phase ECG-gated CTA in detecting the intimal tear (IT) in aortic dissection (AD) and ulcer-like projection (ULP) in intramural hematoma (IMH). Materials and methods A total of 81 consecutive patients with AD and IMH of the thoracic aorta were included in this single-center retrospective study. Non-ECG-gated CTA, single-diastolic-phase ECG-gated CTA, and full-phase ECG-gated CTA were used to detect the presence of the IT and ULP in thoracic aortic regions including the ascending aorta, aortic arch, and proximal and distal descending aorta. Results The accuracy of detecting the IT and ULP was significantly greater using full-phase ECG-gated CTA (88% [95% CI: 100%, 75%]) than non-ECG-gated CTA (72% [95% CI: 90%, 54%], P = 0.001) and single-diastolic-phase ECG-gated CTA (76% [95% CI: 93%, 60%], P = 0.008). Conclusion Full-phase ECG-gated CTA is more accurate in detecting the IT in AD and ULP in IMH, than non-ECG-gated CTA and single-diastolic-phase ECG-gated CTA.
