Key result
Cesarean section followed by thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) successfully treated acute type B aortic dissection in a pregnant woman with Takayasu's arteritis, resulting in maternal and fetal survival.
Why the study?
Type B aortic dissection in pregnant women with Takayasu's arteritis is very rare and complicated, requiring multidisciplinary planning to determine the timing and method of operation to save mother and fetus.
Does sequential cesarean section and TEVAR improve maternal and fetal survival in a pregnant woman with acute type B aortic dissection and Takayasu's arteritis?

Does sequential cesarean section and TEVAR improve maternal and fetal survival in a pregnant woman with acute type B aortic dissection and Takayasu's arteritis?
Sequential cesarean section followed by TEVAR is a viable and life-saving strategy for acute type B aortic dissection in late pregnancy complicated by Takayasu's arteritis.
Bi et al. (2025) conducted a case report in Acute type B aortic dissection in pregnancy with Takayasu's arteritis (n=1). Cesarean section followed by Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair (TEVAR) was evaluated on Maternal and fetal survival. Cesarean section followed by thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) successfully treated acute type B aortic dissection in a pregnant woman with Takayasu's arteritis, resulting in maternal and fetal survival.
