Evaluation of Thoracic Endovascular Repair for the Treatment of Type B Aortic Dissection Complicated by Malperfusion.

ABSTRACT: Objectives: This study aims to investigate the efficacy of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for type B aortic dissection (TBAD) complicated by malperfusion. Methods: This retrospective study included patients who underwent TEVAR for the treatment of TBAD complicated by malperfusion from June 1998 to June 2022 in four institutions. In addition to the common outcomes, including short- and medium-term mortality and morbidity, the preservation of each organ was investigated. Results: A total of 23 patients were included in this analysis. The 30-day mortality was 4% (1/23) of the patients. The overall survival rate was 87% at 1 year. The preservation rate of each organ was 33% (4/12) for the visceral organs, 85% (17/20) for the kidneys, and 100% (18/18) for the l
