A proximal entry tear located in the proximal trunk of the left subclavian artery is confirmed by balloon inflation blocking and sealed with an occluder

Most intimal tears are located in the ascending aorta or the first portion of the descending aorta.1 It is a rare case that the proximal tear originates from the left subclavian artery (LSA).

Zusammenfassung:Aortic dissection (AD) is a catastrophic disease involving the aorta. Most intimal tears are located in the ascending aorta or the first portion of the descending aorta.1 It is a rare case that the proximal tear originates from the left subclavian artery (LSA). Virtual endoscopy (VE) technology could provide us a specific perspective to see from intraluminal to the outside and was especially helpful to look for and indentify complicated intimal tears.^2 Vascular occluder is a useful device to treat vessel diseases alone or combined with other appratus.
