Early Staged STABILISE Technique Achieves Favorable Aortic Remodeling after Central Repair for Acute Type A Aortic Dissection

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Residual distal aortic dissection often persists after repair of acute type A aortic dissection, and may cause progressive aortic enlargement requiring secondary intervention. We describe a 43-year-old male who underwent an early staged stent-assisted balloon-induced intimal disruption and relamination in aortic dissection repair (STABILISE)-thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) procedure after central repair for an acute type A aortic dissection. Early postoperative computed tomography angiography demonstrated persistent false lumen perfusion, progressive false lumen enlargement, and marked true lumen compression. Thirty-eight days postoperatively, staged STABILISE-TEVAR was performed. Early staged STABILISE-TEVAR was technically feasible and achieved favorable aortic remodeling at 12 months in this patient.
