Endovascular aortic repair with Cardiatis® multilayer flow modulator in a patient undergone ascending aortic replacement for type I aortic dissection

Aortic dissection and aneurysms are one of the most important life-threatening diseases. After ascending aortic replacement, one of the life-saving urgent surgeries for Type I aortic dissection, aneurysmatic dilatation is usually observed in the remaining portions of the aorta over time. Open surgical repair for these patients still carries a 30% mortality rate despite improvements in open surgical methods, graft materials, and technological options. Endovascular repair provides promising results in high-risk patients. A 72-year-old female patient who underwent ascending aortic replacement for type 1 aortic dissection 9 years ago was admitted to our clinic with the diagnosis of symptomatic aneurysmal dilatation in the thoracic and abdominal aortic segments. We present this case in which we used the Cardiatis® Multilayer Flow Modulator stent to conduct endovascular repair.
