Key result
Emergency endovascular stent-graft placement in acute type B aortic dissection with leakage resulted in 0 deaths at 15 months compared to 4 deaths in historic-matched controls (p < 0.05).
Why the study?
Does emergency endovascular stent-graft placement reduce mortality in patients with acute type B aortic dissection complicated by periaortic blood loss compared to conventional therapy?

p-value: p=<0.05
Emergency endovascular stent-graft placement appears to be a life-saving option that reduces mortality compared to conventional therapy in acute type B aortic dissection with evolving rupture.

May support endovascular stent-graft placement in acute type B dissection with leakage; leaves open need for randomized confirmation.
Nienaber et al. (2003) conducted a cohort in Acute type B aortic dissection with leakage. Emergency endovascular stent-graft placement vs. Conventional therapy (historic-matched controls) was evaluated on Mortality (p=<0.05). Emergency endovascular stent-graft placement in acute type B aortic dissection with leakage resulted in 0 deaths at 15 months compared to 4 deaths in historic-matched controls (p < 0.05).
