The Caged Knickerbocker: A Novel Modification to Targeted False Lumen Management in Complex Aortic Dissection.

Achieving complete false lumen thrombosis is a considerable challenge when managing complex aortic dissections. Our data demonstrate the technical feasibly and early successful outcomes with the CKB approach. Importantly, CKB facilitates future distal extension into the para-visceral aorta in cases of complex thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms. Further research should focus on discerning individual patients who will benefit from targeted false lumen management and compare outcomes between different approaches.
