The treatment of complicated chronic aortic dissection remains controversial. We previously reported encouraging early results with the stent-assisted balloon-induced intimal disruption and relamination of aortic dissection (STABILISE) technique for treating complicated acute aortic dissections. However, to date there have been no specific reports on the treatment of complicated chronic aortic dissections with this technique. The aim of this study was to assess the results of the STABILISE technique to treat complicated chronic aortic dissection.
