Endovascular treatment of the chronically dissected aorta can be especially challenging due to unending variations in post-dissection configurations. Traditionally, basic principles of thoracic endovascular aortic repair rely on bilateral femoral access and deployment of a stent-graft within the true lumen. In the present report, we describe a case of trans-septal thoracic endovascular aortic repair in a patient with complex chronic residual type B aortic dissection (1,10) with dilation up to 10 cm in the context of a chronically occluded right external iliac artery, and a left iliofemoral system supplied by the false lumen.
