Why the study?
What are the outcomes of medical management in patients with acute type B aortic dissection?
What are the outcomes of medical management in patients with acute type B aortic dissection?
Medical management of acute type B aortic dissection yields acceptable outcomes, which should serve as a baseline for comparison with endovascular stenting.
Supports medical management as baseline for acute type B aortic dissection; leaves open randomized comparisons with endovascular stenting.
Medical management for acute type B aortic dissection is associated acceptable outcomes. Outcomes of other management strategies, eg, endovascular stenting, for acute type B aortic dissection need to be compared with these results.
