Acute type B dissection may warrant closer post-TEVAR surveillance; leaves open acuity-stratified trials.
Does endovascular stent-graft placement yield different clinical outcomes in acute versus chronic type B aortic dissection?
Endovascular stent-graft repair is effective for both acute and chronic type B aortic dissection, though acute dissection is associated with higher rates of immediate and long-term complications and lower event-free survival.
