Proximal stent graft combined with distal bare stent <i>vs</i>. conventional thoracic endovascular aortic repair in the treatment of complicated Stanford type B aortic dissection: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The combination of a proximal stent graft (PSG) and a distal bare stent (DBS) has a number of advantages over standard thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) in the treatment of complicated Stanford type B aortic dissection (TBAD). However, direct comparisons between these two treatment approaches remain limited. This meta-analysis aimed to compare the efficacy of these techniques in the treatment of complicated Stanford TBAD.

Methods

The Cochrane Library, Embase, PubMed, and Web of Science databases were searched using the following key terms: "provisional extension to induce complete attachment technique", "petticoat", "restrictive stent", "protective stent", "bare stent", and "aortic dissection". All articles relevant to the topic were included in the meta
