In rare cases, dense, calcified, exophytic, and amorphous lesions causing severe luminal obstruction, termed coral reef atherosclerosis (CRA) of the suprarenal aorta, may occur. Not all CRAs, however, are amenable to TE due to aortic wall plaque erosion and adventitial thinning. Thoracic aorta-based bypass grafting of the visceral vessels is another option if the descending thoracic aorta is clampable. However, like TE, this option may not be viable for all patients due to compromised pulmonary function or comorbidities.

The European Society of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery guidelines recommend endovascular treatment for patients with complicated acute/subacute type B aortic dissections and those failing medical management. Several techniques have been used over the past few decades. Recently, the STABILISE (Stent-Assisted Balloon-Induced Intimal Disruption and Relamination in Aortic Dissection Repair) technique has been proposed to treat type B aortic dissections. This method involves proximal thoracic aortic stent grafting with the deployment of distal bare stents, followed by ballooning to intentionally rupture the intimal lamella, allowing the true lumen to fully expand and resulting in a “single-channeled aorta.” Since its adoption, several authors have reported satisfactory results, demonstrating that the technique is safe and effective, and it could be considered a serious attempt to promote positive aortic remodeling over time. This paper provides an analysis of presurgical preparation and planning, detailed procedural description during surgery, necessary support equipment, and strategies for perioperative management.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":45071,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases Innovations and Techniques","volume":"11 2","pages":"Article 101687"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143160554","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
