Abstract
A type B aortic dissection with an aberrant right subclavian artery is an uncommon entity. Most cases have been treated by open or hybrid surgery. We present a case that was managed by endovascular aortic repair with the periscope technique. A thoracic stent graft was implanted into the aortic arch beyond the origin of the right subclavian artery. Two overlapping periscope grafts were placed to maintain perfusion to the right subclavian artery. The presented technique is a feasible and minimally invasive approach for this rare entity.
