Repair of ATAAD with a 3D-printing assisted pre-windowed coated stent: A case report.

In Journal of cardiac surgery ; h5-index 21.0

Acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) is a life-threatening vascular disease. We report a case of ATAAD treated with interventional therapy using 3D-printing assisted pre-windowing coated stent combined with in situ window-opening technology. There were few complications and the patient experienced an uneventful recovery.
