Fig 1 Preoperative computed tomography (CT) (A) two-dimensional sagittal section and (B) three-dimensional Vitrea (Vital Images Inc, Minnetonka, Minn) reconstruction, shown from left anterolateral perspective, demonstrate chronic type B aortic dissection with patent false lumen and aneurysmal dilatation.

Fig 2 Digital subtraction angiogram performed via separate injections into (A) the true lumen demonstrates the origins of lumbar arteries, the superior mesenteric artery, and the right renal artery; and (B) the false lumen demonstrates the origins of the celiac trunk and common hepatic artery, the splenic artery, the superior mesenteric artery, and the left renal artery.

Fig 3 Obliteration of the chronic aortic dissection flap (ie, re-establishment of a single lumen) was achieved by traction on a stiff guidewire “lassoed” around the false membrane.

Fig 4 Digital subtraction angiogram performed via separate injections into (A) the true lumen demonstrates the tapering of the distal thoracic aorta and faint opacification of the common hepatic, superior mesenteric artery, and right renal artery; and into (B) the false lumen demonstrates the celiac trunk, the superior mesenteric artery, and the left renal artery.

Fig 5 A, Completion thoracic angiogram and (B) abdominal aortogram demonstrate absence of filling of the aneurysmal segment of aorta and filling of all the aortic arch branches, renal arteries, and visceral branches.
