Fig 1 (A) A three-dimensional volume rendering of a computed tomography (CT) scan shows descending aorta dissection and static right renal artery (white arrow) obstruction with asymmetric right renal perfusion. (B) Cross-sectional CT image depicts the descending aorta before fenestration. Note the segmental artery arising from the false lumen with reduced contrast enhancement. (C) Detail of the dissection flap prolapsing into the right renal artery (red arrow) causing complete occlusion of the vessel.

Fig 2 A three-dimensional volume rendering of a thoracoabdominal CT scan at the 16-month follow-up shows minor residual dissection (arrowheads) of the proximal descending aorta. Note the adequate perfusion of the right kidney (bright and symmetric renal contrast enhancement).
