A Case of Chronic Stanford Type B Aortic Dissection Treated with Physician-Modified Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair and the Candy Plug Technique

Key Points

• To present an effective treatment for chronic Stanford Type B aortic dissection using innovative endovascular techniques.
• Patient: 85-year-old male with chronic Stanford Type B aortic dissection and dilating aneurysm.
• Intervention: Physician-modified thoracic endovascular aortic repair (PM-TEVAR) combined with Candy Plug technique.
• Postoperative imaging: Contrast CT scan to assess flow cessation in the false lumen.
• Postoperative CT confirmed cessation of false lumen flow and thrombus formation.
• Demonstrated effectiveness of PM-TEVAR with Candy Plug technique in high-risk surgical patients.
• Highlighted utility of this combined method in complex anatomical cases where standard TEVAR is challenging.
