A novel technique for renal stenting in the setting of type-B aortic dissection

A type-B acute aortic dissection patient required renal artery revascularization for renal artery stenosis resulting from the compression by a false lumen. Renal artery stenting was complicated by unclear opacification of the ostia resulting from the collapsed true lumen of both renal artery and aorta. The use of the Szabo technique facilitated this procedure by allowing us to position the stent edge precisely at the ostium. This is the first report of this technique utilized in this lesion subset.
