3D printing-guided stent grafting vs. Sun procedure in type B aortic dissection: a propensity score-matched comparison.

Key Points

• To compare the effectiveness of 3D printing-assisted stent grafting with the Sun procedure in treating type B aortic dissection.
• Conducted a propensity score-matched analysis
• Compared perioperative outcomes between two patient groups
• Measured complications and patient satisfaction
• 3D printing-assisted stent grafting resulted in superior perioperative outcomes
• Fewer complications were observed with 3D printing technique
• Enhanced aortic remodelling was identified
• Patient satisfaction levels were higher in the stent grafting group
