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.engAortic dissectionSTABILISEBare stentStent graftEndovascularjournal article10.1016/j.ejvssr.2019.01.003
