Endovascular repair of Stanford B aortic dissection using two stent grafts with different sizes

Abstract

Short-term outcomes showed TSI to be a flexible and effective approach to accurately repair Stanford B aortic dissection that could potentially address the limitations of currently available stent grafts. Further prospective clinical studies are warranted to evaluate its long-term efficacy.

Implantation sequence modification averts distal stent graft-induced new entry after endovascular repair of Stanford type B aortic dissection

“…Huang et al 19 suggested the strategy of using two stent grafts with different sizes. In their series, they used tapered stent grafts in a 10-mm-diameter span from the cranial portion to the caudal portion of the stent.…”

Preoperative thoracic false lumen branches relate to aortic remodeling after thoracic endovascular aortic repair for DeBakey IIIb aortic dissection

“…One traditional approach is to cover the descending aorta with extended stent graft. 21 Importantly, according to the findings in this study, a novel approach of pre-emptive thoracic false lumen embolization combined with stent graft deployment should be tested in an attempt to promote complete thrombosis in the thoracic false lumen. False lumen embolization has been proved feasible for occlusion of post-TEVAR false lumen aneurysm.…”

Mid-Term Clinical and Morphological Outcomes After Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair for Complicated Type B Aortic Dissection

“…The description of the MOTHER database study included 1010 cases, of which 114 cases were in the acute TBAD; the mean follow-up was 2.2 years; the conclusion reported that when performing TEVAR treatment for both thoracic aortic aneurysm and TBAD seems to offer remarkable mid-term protective effect from aortic-related mortality [26]. However, this protective effect seems to depend on the high rate of re-intervention of the aorta, which must be the focus of future training and equipment development.…”
