ABSTRACT
BACKGROUNDS We aimed to demonstrate the feasibility of thoracic endovascular aortic repair for type B aortic dissection in patients with an insufficient proximal anchoring area due to the vertebral artery originating from the aortic arch. METHODS:
In this study, we report two patients with type B aortic dissection who were complicated with left vertebral artery course variation. Specifically, the left vertebral artery originated from the aortic arch. In these patients, the anchoring area (<15 mm) was not sufficient between the left vertebral artery and the ruptured aortic dissection.RESULT:
We reconstructed the left vertebral artery during horacic endovascular aortic repair. Both patients recovered well and were discharged without any adverse events. CONCLUTION Our experience shows that horacic endovascular aortic repair is feasible in patients with type B aortic dissection who have an insufficient proximal anchoring area due to the left vertebral artery originating from the aortic arch.
