Supports feasibility of stent-graft placement for aortic dissection; leaves open durability and need for randomized comparisons.
What are the early to mid-term outcomes of transluminal stent-graft placement for acute onset and chronic aortic dissections?
Transluminal stent-graft placement is a feasible treatment for aortic dissection with high survival rates, though delayed stent-graft-induced intimal tears remain a concern.
Shimono et al. (2002) studied this question.
