Abstract
After treatment of stent graft for chronic aortic dissection, there are patients who can't obtain aortic remodeling because persistent flow in the false lumen. We underwent the false lumen embolization with Candy plug technique for the purpose of controlling perfusion in the false lumen remaining after TEVAR. 49-year-old woman. She was treated with TEVAR that covered the entry in the distal arch aorta for chronic type B aortic dissection which had passed 10 years from the onset. The false lumen was not thrombosed because a lot of blood flow to the false lumen from the re-entry of the abdominal aorta had remained. We added the embolization of false lumen by Candy plug technique after two months from first TEVAR. Her postoperative course was good, and the false lumen was quickly thrombosed. At six months after the operation, computed tomography revealed that the diameter of thoracic aorta and the false lumen was regressed. We think that Candy plug technique might be one of the good treatments for chronic aortic dissection.
