Ascending Aortic Stenting as a Bridge to Definitive Aortic Repair in Acute Type A Dissection Complicated by Pseudoaneurysm

This video demonstrates the endovascular repair of the ascending aorta in a case of acute Stanford type A aortic dissection in a patient who was not a surgical candidate at the time of presentation. The authors discuss the operative planning considerations required for his eventual definitive open surgical repair, which became required after his course was complicated by a massive aortic pseudoaneurysm.
