TSGP linked to higher false lumen obliteration in acute versus chronic aortic dissection; hypothesis-generating and leaves open impact on clinical outcomes.
Does transluminal stent-graft placement improve false lumen obliteration in patients with aortic dissections?
Transluminal stent-graft placement leads to complete obliteration of the false lumen more frequently in acute-onset aortic dissections compared to chronic cases.
Kusagawa et al. (2005) studied this question.
