Initial experience with a modified “candy-plug” technique for false lumen embolization in chronic type B aortic dissection

Background: Persistent distal false lumen (FL) perfusion after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for type B aortic dissection (TBAD) can lead to aneurysmal degeneration and an increased risk of rupture.
