Problems Encountered During and After Stent-Graft Treatment of Aortic Dissection

  • Chapter
Thoracic Aortic Diseases

21.5 Conclusion

In conclusion, a stent-graft is a more efficient and safer modality for the treatment of aortic dissection than any other current treatment modality, having 87% success rate and 0% mortality. However, various problems and complications could occur during the procedure and the follow-up period. Careful design of the stent-graft, the procedure itself and close follow-up are mandatory for the avoidance and prompt management of such problems.
