ABSTRACT
Type B aortic dissections have remained a difficult management problem. Open surgical techniques have had a very high perioperative mortality, and medical management has not produced satisfactory long-term results. Endovascular grafting techniques may provide a favorable alternative therapy. However, there are currently no endovascular stents approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for treating Type B aortic dissections. Also, there is very little data from United States centers on the long-term efficacy of endovascular stents used "off-label" to treat aortic dissections. This report discusses the care of a patient with a Type B aortic dissection successfully treated by an endograft in a community hospital. In addition, serial follow-up computerized tomography demonstrates the durability of this repair at three years.
