Complete entry closure in isolated abdominal aortic dissection with a vascular plug: a case report
The use of the AVP in IAAD proved effective by promoting thrombosis within the false lumen and preventing its expansion. This offered a less invasive alternative, avoiding complications associated with endovascular aortic repair or open surgery, especially given the patient's challenging anatomy. However, potential risks such as exacerbation of the entry tear or embolic events should be considered, warranting careful deployment with an endovascular plug. Amplatzer Vascular Plug-based entry closure provides an effective, less invasive strategy for IAAD management. Further research is needed to confirm its long-term safety and efficacy.
