Abstract
Endovascular stenting of the ascending aorta has been described for various aortic pathologies, including type A dissection in patients who are prohibitive risk for open surgery. Endovascular treatment of ascending aortic pathology poses unique anatomic and technical challenges related to aortic morphology. Herein, we present a novel technique of endovascular ascending stent graft delivery from a transfemoral approach for treatment of an acute type A dissection, utilizing a snare-guided deployment technique to facilitate favorable device deployment.
