ABSTRACT
Postdissection thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm incidence after thoracic endovascular aortic repair for type B aortic dissection is high, with residual distal tears being a major reason for persistent blood flow in the false lumen. The EndoPatch is an endovascular double-disc implant for sealing re-entry tears in aortic dissection, isolating blood flow in the false lumen and promoting thrombosis formation. Compared with conventional endovascular treatment techniques, this endovascular double-disc implant's small size and minimal working space requirements may reduce the risk of spinal ischemia and offer flexible vascular access. Although several barriers still impede this endovascular device's broad application, its innovative design, flexible vascular access, and streamlined surgical process make it a promising alternative for managing intimal tears in aortic dissection, either alone or as a supplementary method combined with conventional endovascular techniques.
