1 Stent graft repair of descending aortic dissection in patients with Marfan syndrome: An effective alternative to open reoperation?  Luca Botta, MD, Vincenzo Russo, MD, Cesare La Palombara, MD, Marzia Rosati, MD, Roberto Di Bartolomeo, MD, Rossella Fattori, MD  The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery  Volume 138, Issue 5, Pages (November 2009) DOI: /j.jtcvs Copyright © 2009 The American Association for Thoracic Surgery Terms and Conditions

2 Figure 1 Volume-rendering (A) and maximum-intensity projection (MIP) images (B) of the acute aortic type B dissection with the entry tear at the level of the left subclavian artery ostium in a patient with Marfan syndrome initially operated on for an annuloaortic ectasia and proximal arch aneurysm. In panel A the white arrow shows the vascular graft used for ascending aortic and arch replacement. Dissection of the descending aorta in axial projection is shown in panel C. Volume-rendering (D) and MIP images (E) show a correct position of the stent graft and the absence of endoleak 3 months after the procedure; the white asterisk indicates patency of the false lumen (FL) distally to the implanted graft. Panel F shows the complete thrombosis of the FL in the descending thoracic aorta in axial projection after 3 months.
