To apply thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) to treat dwarfism complicated with Stanford B aortic dissection.
In this report, we presented a 63-year-old male patient of dwarfism complicated with Stanford B aortic dissection successfully treated with TEVAR.
He was diagnosed with dwarfism complicated with Stanford B aortic dissection.
After conservative treatment, the male patient underwent TEVAR at 1 week after hospitalization. After operation, he presented with numbness and weakness of his bilateral lower extremities, and these symptoms were significantly mitigated after effective treatment. At 1- and 3-week after TEVAR, the aorta status was maintained stable and restored.
The patient obtained favorable clinical prognosis and was smoothly discharged. During subsequent follow-up, he remained physically stable.
TEVAR is probably an option for treating dwarfism complicated with Stanford B aortic dissection, which remains to be validated by subsequent studies with larger sample size.
应用胸主动脉腔内修复术（TEVAR）治疗侏儒症合并Stanford B型主动脉夹层。
在本报告中，我们介绍了一名63岁患有侏儒症合并Stanford B型主动脉夹层的男性患者，成功接受了TEVAR治疗。
他被诊断为侏儒症合并Stanford B型主动脉夹层。
经过保守治疗后，该男性患者在住院1周后接受了TEVAR治疗。术后，他出现双下肢麻木和无力，经有效治疗后这些症状明显减轻。TEVAR术后1周和3周时，主动脉状态保持稳定并恢复。
患者获得了良好的临床预后并顺利出院。在随后的随访中，他身体状况保持稳定。
TEVAR可能是治疗侏儒症合并Stanford B型主动脉夹层的一种选择，这仍有待后续更大样本量的研究来验证。
