A 54-year-old man underwent right transfemoral angiography because of left renal hematuria. During angiography, dissection of abdominal aorta and thoracic aorta was encountered. It was initiated by intramural catheter passage at the bifurcation of the internal and external iliac artery. ⋯ Surrounding abdominal aorta and common iliac artery were wrapped near orifices with a dacron graft. A follow-up CT obtained 3 months postoperatively showed that the dissecting space in the abdominal aorta had disappeared. Wrapping was very useful to promote organization of the dissecting space.
