Novel insights into thoracic endografts technology for prevention of distal stent-graft induced new entry (dSINE) following endovascular repair of type B aortic dissections: from bench to bedside

Endovascular treatment of type B aortic dissections (TBAD) has currently acquired a primary therapeutic role when anatomically feasible. The main issue with thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for aortic dissection is the actual nature of the aortic wall, which is structurally compromised and more fragile. Indeed, a wealth of data have shown that TEVAR for TBAD will lead, in a substantial proportion of cases, to a device-related adverse event named distal stent-graft induced new entry (dSINE).
