Key result
This literature review outlines the epidemiology, pathology, and surgical or endovascular management techniques for non-A non-B aortic dissections.
Why the study?
Non-A non-B aortic dissections are infrequent and represent a small proportion of aortic dissections, posing highly challenging surgical or endovascular treatment scenarios.
What are the surgical and endovascular techniques and associated outcomes for treating non-A non-B aortic dissections?
What are the surgical and endovascular techniques and associated outcomes for treating non-A non-B aortic dissections?
This literature review aims to define, classify, and describe the epidemiology, pathology, and treatment outcomes of non-A non-B aortic dissections.
Heterogeneous management of non-A non-B dissections persists; leaves open need for prospective trials to standardize care.
Non-A non-B aortic dissections are an infrequent occurrence and represent a small proportion of aortic dissections. Treating this life-threatening medical emergency often requires surgeons to undertake some one of the most challenging surgical or endovascular cases in medicine. This literature review aims to define and classify non-A non-B dissections, describe their epidemiology as well as their pathology. This review also aims to discuss the range of surgical techniques employed in their treatment and management and to investigate the patient outcomes associated with each technique.
