Aortic visceral segment instability is evident following thoracic endovascular aortic repair for acute and subacute type B aortic dissection.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Anatomic remodeling within the thoracic aorta following thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for type B aortic dissection (TBAD) has been well documented. However, less is known about the response of the untreated visceral aorta. In the present study, we investigated the visceral aortic behavior after TEVAR for acute or subacute TBAD to identify any associations with the clinical outcomes.

Methods

A multicenter retrospective review was performed of all imaging studies for all patients who had undergone TEVAR for acute (0-14 days) and subacute (14-90 days) nontraumatic TBAD from 2006 to 2020. The cohort was inclusive of those with uncomplicated, high-risk, and complicated (defined in accordance with the Society for Vascular Surgery reporting guidelines) diss
