Abstract

Iatrogenic aortic dissections are a severe complication after thoracic endovascular aortic repair, and treatment guidelines do not exist. Herein, we report a patient who experienced an iatrogenic type B aortic dissection during elective thoracic endovascular aortic repair and suggest an interventional treatment option.
