Introduction: The stent assisted balloon induced intimal disruption and relamination in aortic dissection repair
(STABILISE) technique is being increasingly used for the treatment of complicated aortic dissections. However, as it is a fairly recent technique, the scientific information is limited.
Report: In this paper we report two cases of the STABILISE technique associated with procedures in the
ascending aorta and supra-aortic trunks, consisting of a “frozen elephant trunk” procedure in one case and in the other, a carotid endarterectomy associated with reimplantation of the vertebral artery and partial arch
debranching.
Discussion: In conclusion, while acknowledging the need for longer follow up and greater experience to support
the safety and efficacy of this procedure, the two cases reported confirm that the STABILISE technique is a valid endovascular alternative in the treatment of complicated aortic dissections.
