Key result
Chronicity, smoking, and excessive oversizing of the implanted stent graft were predictive of re-interventions after TEVAR for type B aortic dissections.
Chronicity, smoking, and excessive stent graft oversizing are predictive of the need for re-intervention following TEVAR for type B aortic dissection.
The paper by Zhang et al . discusses an important issue regarding thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for type B aortic dissections (1). The article is a single center retrospective report, so some caution is appropriate when considering the results. The authors do report some interesting findings that add to our current literature. Chronicity, smoking and oversizing the implanted stent graft too much, were found to be predictive of re-interventions after TEVAR for type B aortic dissections.

Kamman et al. (2016) conducted an editorial in Type B aortic dissection. Chronicity, smoking, and stent graft oversizing was evaluated on Re-interventions. Chronicity, smoking, and excessive oversizing of the implanted stent graft were predictive of re-interventions after TEVAR for type B aortic dissections.
