Acute right lower limb ischemia developed in a patient with type III aortic dissection. Aortography revealed complete occlusion of the right common iliac artery by dissecting intima. Immediately percutaneous transfemoral fenestra tion with angioplasty balloon catheter was performed and marked improvement was obtained in clinical symptoms and angiographic findings. Unfortunately the patient died of rupture of the thoracic aorta about eleven hours after the proce dure. The cause of death was not thought to be related to this procedure. The authors conclude that percutaneous fenestration should be considered as the treatment of choice for visceral or limb ischemia due to acute aortic dissection.
