Primary Stent Placement for Chronic Spontaneous Infrarenal Abdominal Aortic Dissection: A Case Report

rare malady and it has been only infrequently reported on; its typical course and optimal management are not clearly defined (1). It is usually limited to the infrarenal aorta (1, 2). Isolated abdominal aortic dissection may be classified on the basis of its etiology as iatrogenic, traumatic or spontaneous (2). Primary abdominal aortic dissections comprise less than 2% of all aortic dissections, compared to 70% for ascending aortic dissections, 20% for descending thoracic aortic dissections and 7% for aortic arch dissections (3). We report here on a case of chronic SIAAD that caused stenotic change of the infrarenal abdominal aorta along with progressive lower extremity pain and claudication in both legs. The patient was treated with successful interventional management. Case Report
