title: [Transposition of the subclavian artery with endovascular stent graft implantation for therapy of acute type B aortic dissection].
abstract: We report about a patient with a thoracic aneurysm caused by an acute type-B dissection. Due to the concomitant affections the risk of surgery was distinctly increased, the reconstruction was performed endo vascular by stentgraft implantation (Talent, World Medical Systems, Sunrise FL) after transposition of the left subclavian artery to create a sufficient neck for the proximal stent placement. Endoluminal treatment seems to be a promising, less invasive alternative method in the treatment of acute aortic dissections.
