title: Delayed stent deformity and fracture of Djumbodis dissection system.
abstract: In recent years, a novel approach using the Djumbodis dissection system aortic stent has been introduced as an alternative to aortic arch replacement in acute type A aortic dissection involving the arch. From 2010 to 2013, we treated 7 patients with acute type A aortic dissection using the technique of replacing the ascending aorta with interposition graft and stenting of the aortic arch with the Djumbodis dissection system. We followed up the patients with serial imaging and in 3 consecutive patients who had been followed up for more than 10 months, we noted significant deformity and fracture of the Djumbodis stent.
