TEVAR for complicated and uncomplicated type B aortic dissection—Systematic review and meta‐analysis

Structured PICO

Does TEVAR yield different in-hospital mortality and 5-year survival outcomes in complicated versus uncomplicated type B aortic dissection?

Population

Patients with complicated and uncomplicated type B aortic dissection (TBAD)

Intervention

Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for complicated type B aortic dissection

Comparator

Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for uncomplicated type B aortic dissection

Outcome

In-hospital mortality and 5-year survivalhard clinical

TEVAR provides comparable in-hospital mortality and 5-year survival for both complicated and uncomplicated type B aortic dissection, despite higher baseline comorbidities in complicated cases.

Abstract

In our analysis we can appreciate that despite significantly higher comorbidities in the co-TBAD cohort, there was no difference in in-hospital mortality between the two groups and the 5-year survival did not have any difference.
