Abstract
In the recent years, the application of vascular plugs has been widespread in peripheral and aortic interventions. Between December 2013 and December 2014, 4 men, with different complex aortic pathologies (2 remaining aortic dissections and 2 thoracoabdominal aneurysms), successfully underwent endovascular treatment with Amplatzer Vascular Plug (St. Jude; St. Paul, MN). We report the different techniques applied in each case and the benefits of this approach in achieving thrombosis of false lumen, avoiding aneurysmal aorta enlargement and reducing risk of aortic rupture or death. Neither mortality nor complications were registered during a mean follow-up of 18Â months.
