Over 8-year survival after ascending endovascular repair of type A intramural haematoma

Eur J Cardiothorac Surg. 2023 Jun 1;63(6):ezad172. doi: 10.1093/ejcts/ezad172.

Abstract

Acute type A aortic syndromes are catastrophic events whose management relies primarily on conventional surgery. For several years, various endovascular attempts have been described; however, long-term data are inexistent. We describe a case of stenting of the ascending aorta for a type A intramural haematoma with survival and freedom from reintervention at >8 years postoperatively.
