Nishiyama et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Triple-channel type B aortic dissection in Marfan syndrome (n=1). Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) was evaluated on Thrombosis of false lumen and prevention of aortic enlargement. Thoracic endovascular aortic repair successfully thrombosed the false lumen of the proximal descending aorta with no enlargement of the descending aorta observed four years post-surgery.
