Hemodynamic Effects of Multiple Overlapping Uncovered Stents on Aortic Dissection: Surgical Strategies and Implications for False Lumen Thrombosis

摘要

Purpose-Multiple overlapping uncovered stents (MOUS) are employed to promote false lumen thrombosis in the aortic dissections (AD), when the tears are in close vicinity to the branch vessels. However, the overall rate of false lumen thrombosis remains unsatisfactory. This study was performed to investigate the hemodynamic influence of MOUS on aortic dissection to shed some light on the mechanism of post-stenting false lumen thrombosis.
