Real-world outcomes and management trends in uncomplicated type B aortic dissection.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Uncomplicated type B aortic dissection (uTBAD) accounts for a significant proportion of TBAD cases, but large-scale data on their prognosis remain limited. This study aims to evaluate real-world management and outcomes of uTBAD.

Methods

Patients aged 20 or older admitted for acute TBAD between 1 April 2013 and 30 September 2020 were included in the analysis set. They were classified as uTBAD 1 month after admission. Data were sourced from the Shizuoka Kokuho Database, a regional claims database. The primary outcomes were all-cause mortality and aortic events (death, type A dissection, rupture or surgery).
