Abstract

We describe our experience with percutaneous treatment by transfemoral balloon fenestration of the abdominal aorta in a patient with type B aortic dissection. Percutaneous fenestration was effective in reducing the pressure in the false lumen and equalizing the pressure between the two lumens. The patient was doing well at three-year follow-up.
