Aortic dissection: current percutaneous options Advanced Angioplasty BSET Jan 2008
MY CONFLICTS OF INTEREST ARE Preceptor for complex endografts for Cook
Multidisciplinary • Radiology • Vascular Surgery • Cardiology • Anaesthesia • Cardiothoracic surgery
Imaging • Pre-operative CT and workstation review • Intra-operative angiography • TOE • IVUS
Acute type B aortic dissection • Endovascular intervention for: • 1. Failure of medical therapy • Malperfusion • Rupture • Rapid enlargement
Haemodynamics • True lumen collapse • Depends on ratio of inflow capacity to outflow capacity in true and false lumina • Reduce FL inflow - endografts • Increase FL outflow - fenestration
Primary treatment aim • Cover the primary tear • Stent grafts: • PTFE, Dacron • Nitinol, stainless steel • Bare metal? • Barbs proximally?
Distal bare metal scaffolding • PETTICOAT concept • Provisional extension to induce complete attachment after stent graft placement in acute type B dissection C Nienaber JEVT 2006; 13:738-746
PETTICOAT • 12 patients • Primary tear covered • Persistent distal true lumen collapse and perfused abdominal false lumen • Adjunctive or staged • Uncovered stents: Sinus, Fortress, Z-stents • 120-230mm • True lumen increase 4 – 21mm
Fenestration techniques • Via natural fenestrations • Punctured with guidewires, TIPS needles, re-entry devices • Guided by angiography, snares, balloons, IVUS • Enlarged by balloons, or guidewires - push cuts (scissor technique) or pulled

Conclusions • Challenging and complex multidisciplinary area • Evolving role and understanding of percutaneous options • Stent grafts, visceral stents • Fenestration • Uncovered stents - scaffolding
