Endovascular Repair of Acute Type B Aortic Dissection.

(A) Thoracic aortography showing stent graft in descending thoracic aorta. The proximal portion of the graft (black arrow) is placed at the level of the left common carotid artery, covering the left subclavian artery in order to obtain proximal seal in normal aorta.

(B) Thoracic aortography showing stent graft deployed with obliteration of the proximal false lumen.

(C) Abdominal aortography after proximal stent grafting showing true lumen expansion (black arrow) with persistent false lumen flow.

(D) Three-dimensional aortic reconstruction after endovascular repair showing obliteration of false lumen in the thoracic aorta, persistent flow in the abdominal aorta, expansion of the true lumen, and perfusion to all visceral vessels.
