RTAD is a rare but highly lethal complication following TEVAR, particularly in patients treated for acute dissection or when a proximal bare stent is used.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Demands caution with TEVAR due to high RTAD mortality; extends observational quantification while leaving prevention strategies open.
