Outcomes of thoracic endovascular aortic repair with fenestrated surgeon-modified stent-grafts for type B aortic dissection involving the aortic arch: a multicenter retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) with fenestrated surgeon-modified stent-grafts (f-SMSGs) is becoming an option for treating type B aortic dissection (TBAD) involving the aortic arch. This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of this technique.

Methods

A retrospective multicenter study was conducted, involving consecutive patients from three medical centers in China who underwent TEVAR with f-SMSG for TBAD. A new technique called "Lu's direction-turnover technique" was employed to align the fenestrations with supra-aortic vessels.

Results

From March 2016 to January 2020, 117 patients diagnosed with TBAD were deemed eligible for inclusion. The technical success rate was 94% (n=110). The estimated 30-day survival rate was 97.4% [95% confidence inte
