Key result
Thoracic endovascular aortic repair successfully treated an acute type B aortic dissection that developed following transradial coronary intervention in a patient with a previous EVAR.
Case Report (n=1)
Thoracic EVAR is a feasible treatment for acute type B aortic dissection in patients with previous abdominal EVAR, a situation where surgical treatment is often limited.
May support TEVAR feasibility in post-EVAR type B dissection; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.
Endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) was relatively safe, and became a widely performed procedure. If aortic dissection (AD) occurred in patient with previous EVAR, it could cause fatal complications like endograft collapse. Surgical treatment was limited in this situation for comorbidities and complex anatomies. Here we report a rare case of acute type B AD developed following trans-radial coronary intervention in a patient with previous EVAR of abdominal aortic aneurysm, which was treated with thoracic EVAR.

Park et al. (2017) conducted a case report in Acute Type B Aortic Dissection (n=1). Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) was evaluated on Clinical stabilization and isolation of aortic dissection entry site. Thoracic endovascular aortic repair successfully treated an acute type B aortic dissection that developed following transradial coronary intervention in a patient with a previous EVAR.
