Abdominal aortic dissection (AAD) is a rare pathology and potentially causes rupture or other serious complications. This case report details our experience in endovascular aneurysm repair for AAD in a patient who had a history of coronary bypass surgery. Circumferential dissection of terminal aorta showed stenosis of true lumen as well as blood flow present in the pseudolumen. Using Zenith AAA endovascular device, the entry site was closed and the pseudolumen was thrombosed successfully. In the present report, published data on AAD were reviewed and endovascular aneurysm repair as a treatment option has been discussed as well.
