Core Tip
Core tip: In this work, we report an extremely rare case of repair for intraoperative stent-graft deployed in the false lumen of Stanford type A aortic dissection. This is very rare because the patient survived this catastrophic thoracic surgery for 2 years. We performed a well-designed total endovascular repair to draw blood back to the true lumen. Our report presents a new solution for incorrect stent-graft implantation. Other departments may be inspired by this case when they need to rescue an incorrect stent implantation. Moreover, we discuss regular rescue methods and preventive measures used for stent implantation of the false lumen.
