Percutaneous gluteal artery access to embolize false lumen of type B aortic dissection in marfan patient

This case study presents an innovative endovascular approach using percutaneous gluteal artery access for embolizing the false lumen of a type-B aortic dissection in a Marfan Syndrome patient. Following multiple complex surgeries, the patient developed an enlarging thoraco-abdominal aneurysm, necessitating an urgent intervention branched endoprosthesis despite persisting false lumen perfusion. Doppler ultrasound-guided percutaneous gluteal access was utilized for spiral-coil embolization of the false lumen. Successful embolization and exclusion of the aneurism, confirmed by follow-up angiography and CT scans, demonstrated the technique's efficacy and safety. This approach underscores the need for innovative solutions addressing complex vascular pathologies in Marfan patients.
