Abstract:
:The Djumbodis system is a metallic stent designed to prevent false lumen dilatation after repair of acute aortic dissection. Although the exact number of Djumbodis stents inserted worldwide could not be ascertained from a review of the literature, available data indicate 9 specific device-related complications from 4 patient series and 3 case reports: stent deformity or fracture (4), progressive enlargement of the distal false lumen (3) and distal pseudoaneurysm (1); a further patient with pseudoaneurysm of the distal suture line is added from personal observation. The present review confirms the inability of the Djumbodis stent to provide reduction and/or elimination of the false lumen after repair of type A dissection, highlighting peculiar device-related complications. Current survivors with a Djumbodis stent should undergo close follow-up to prevent possible catastrophic events due to device failure.
