Aneurysm On The Right Subclavian Artery And Common Artery. Had Aortic Dissection. Can I Have Endovascular Stent?
I have a type b aortic dissection which is quite extensive. I also have an aneurysm on my right subclavian artery and another on my right common iliac artery. I was told that open surgery cannot be performed because of the multiple tears of my aortic dissection. Can I have an endovascular stent repair the aneurysm. An endovascular stent is less invasive.

Yes , thats the way forward . further on you will need to keep your BP under tight control and most likely will need to be on blood thinning tablets
