We present two cases of malperfusion syndrome due to aortic dissection type-B. A supra-renal blind sac phenomenon resulted in renal failure and absent femoral pulses in both patients. Additionally, one patient suffered from spinal cord ischemia, the other from severe abdominal pain. By interventional techniques, catheter perforation of the blind sac was achieved. The resulting re-entries were enlarged with a balloon catheter. Distal perfusion without pressure gradients was restored by this technique in both patients and resulted in complete relief of symptoms. Percutaneous fenestration of the aortic dissection membrane may be an alternative to operative treatment in malperfusion syndrome. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
