The Ascyrus Medical Dissection Stent (AMDS) has been shown to promote false lumen closure in type A dissection repairs. This report presents a case of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) landed inside an AMDS, demonstrating successful off-label use of the AMDS stent.
The Ascyrus Medical Dissection Stent (AMDS) has proved to promote false lumen closure at the distal anastomosis in type A dissection repairs. During the past 20 years, open techniques have developed into endovascular repairs. We report a case of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) landed inside an AMDS. A 63-year-old man with hypertension presented with type A aortic dissection. After initial repair with AMDS, he returned for TEVAR to fix residual type B dissection. A proper seal was created between the AMDS and TEVAR stents, demonstrating a successful off-label use of the AMDS stent. (c) 2022 by The Society of Thoracic Surgeons
