Why the study?
Few researchers have investigated the predictive value of eosinophil count for patients with type B aortic dissection undergoing thoracic endovascular repair.

EOS may aid post-TEVAR risk stratification in type B aortic dissection; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.
Does lower admission eosinophil count predict higher mortality in patients with type B aortic dissection undergoing thoracic endovascular repair?
Lower admission eosinophil count is an independent predictor of higher short- and long-term mortality in patients with type B aortic dissection undergoing thoracic endovascular repair.
