Core Tip

Core Tip: Multichanneled aortic dissection usually causes the formation of more than two false lumens in the aortic wall. We used medical three-dimensional modeling (3D) modeling system preoperatively to help identify the location and extension of multiple lumens from different angles. It also precisely located the two primary entries leading to the false lumens, which helped us to exclude the two false lumens with one stent-graft. The 3D modeling system has a potential new role in clinical assessment and operative project planning for complicated aortic dissection.
