Endovascular stainless steel-based stent graft implantation with vascular bypass to gain a sufficient proximal landing zone is feasible for type B aortic dissection and has low early and midterm mortality and morbidity in both the acute and chronic phases. Although early intervention might result in more favorable aortic remodeling with a higher possibility of complete regression and lower risk of late distal erosion, longer-term follow-up still necessitates continuous careful surveillance of the entire aorta, especially the distal condition.
