Advances in treatment for Stanford type B aortic dissection / 基础医学与临床

ABSTRACT

Type B aortic dissection(TBAD)is a life-threatening aortic disease.Complicated TBAD patients require emergency surgical procedure to prevent death caused by rupture or severe complication.The development of endo-vascular repair has shifted the management from extensive open surgical to minimally less invasive endovascular strategy.Thoracic endovascular aortic repair(TEVAR)may promote aortic remodeling and prevent late aneurysmal dilatation,more and more evidences show that TEVAR is effective in the treatment of uncomplicated TBAD.
