Abstract

Acute aortic syndrome of the descending aorta can be treated with stent-graft thanks to technical and material development. Ruptured aneurysms, aortic dissection, wall hematoma and penetrating ulcers can be treated with stent-graft. According to the type of initial lesion, and the clinical tolerance, the emergency of treatment can be different. Non covered stent and aortic fenestration are used in case of visceral ischemia in aortic dissection, according to the type of ischemia.
