Technique-Based Evaluation of Clinical Outcomes and Aortic Remodelling Following TEVAR in Acute and Subacute Type B Aortic Dissection.
To evaluate the clinical outcomes and aortic remodelling rates following thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for acute or subacute type B aortic dissection (TBAD) based on technique. ⋯ Endovascular intervention for acute and subacute TBAD is safe with a high rate of technical success. STABILISE results in higher aortic remodelling at the infra-renal aorta (82%) compared to TEVAR alone (20%) but risks aortic rupture from balloon moulding.
