Aortic fenestration: a why, when, and how-to guide Hartnell GG; Gates JRadiographics 2005[Jan]; 25 (1): 175-89The management of aortic dissection can be challenging. Most cases of acute type A dissection are managed surgically. Most cases of acute type B dissection are managed medically, although open surgery or stent-graft placement is sometimes performed. Patients with type B or surgically treated type A dissection may develop vascular complications such as mesenteric or peripheral ischemia, which cannot be managed medically. Aortic fenestration is a method for decompressing the hypertensive false lumen by creating a hole in the distal part of the dissection flap. This procedure allows outflow from the false lumen, thereby reducing intraluminal pressure, relieving branch vessel obstruction, and reducing the risk of extension of the dissection. Urgent revascularization is required to correct mesenteric and renal ischemia and to reestablish distal perfusion if there is resting ischemia. Few operators will acquire extensive personal experience with percutaneous aortic fenestration. Nevertheless, with a good understanding of the pathologic condition, careful demonstration of the anatomy, good technical skills, and access to high-quality imaging (including intravascular ultrasonography) and the requisite equipment, most interventional radiologists skilled in arterial interventions should be capable of performing this procedure. However, because further interventions are frequently required, the radiologist needs to maintain contact with the patient to ensure timely treatment of any subsequent complications.|Aortic Aneurysm/complications/diagnosis/*surgery[MESH]|Aortic Dissection/complications/diagnosis/*surgery[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Vascular Surgical Procedures/methods[MESH] |
