Outcomes of thoracic endovascular aortic repair for complicated type B acute aortic dissection from a multicenter Japanese post-market surveillance study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

A primary goal of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for type B acute aortic dissection (BAAD) is exclusion of the primary entry tear with a suitable stent graft (SG) to reestablish true lumen flow and promote aortic remodeling. This study aimed to determine the safety and efficacy of a conformable thoracic SG in a Japanese population with complicated BAAD.

Methods

Between 2016 and 2017, 43 patients with complicated BAAD were enrolled in this prospective, nonrandomized, multicenter post-market surveillance study at 27 sites in Japan. All patients underwent TEVAR using the Gore TAG Conformable Thoracic Endoprosthesis (CTAG) (W.L. Gore and Associates, Flagstaff, AZ).

Results

The most common TEVAR indication for complicated BAAD was malperfusion (41.9
