title: [Management of aortic dissection. Stent grafts for who?].
abstract: Acute aortic syndrome (AAS) describes several life threatening aortic pathologies. Acute aortic syndrome include intramural haematoma, penetrating aortic ulcer and acute aortic dissection. Advances in both imaging and endovascular treatment has led to an increase in diagnosis and improved management of these often catastrophic pathologies. The current place of stent-grafts for the AAS management is defined on the basis of the most recent literature.
