Abstract
Multilayer stents are already being used for the treatment of peripheral aneurysms. In France, they are currently under evaluation in the treatment of thoraco-abdominal aneurysms. We have used multilayer stents to treat aneurysmal evolution of thoraco-abdominal residual type B dissection. Third month computed tomography (CT)-scan showed a false channel no longer patent. Multilayer stents are promising but it is too soon to draw conclusions on the use of this device in the treatment of patent false channels.
