Novel method for endovascular fenestration using radiofrequency transseptal needle for aortic dissection with malperfusion syndrome

Malperfusion syndrome is considered one of the most significant adverse events in aortic dissection disease and often requires invasive strategies to improve ischemia. We report the case of a patient who was presented with worsening claudication and leg rest pain due to malperfusion syndrome of type B aortic dissection. We successfully performed endovascular fenestration therapy to relieve the symptom by using a NRG radiofrequency transseptal needle (Baylis Medical, Montreal, Canada). We suggest that this novel method would be available for the patients with malperfusion syndrome of aortic dissection
