Key result
F/BEVAR carries a ~1% risk of retrograde type B aortic dissection.
Why the study?
Retrograde type B aortic dissection after perivisceral aortic endograft placement is rare and not well described in the literature.
Case Report (n=344)
Retrograde type B aortic dissection is a rare but real complication following fenestrated-branched endovascular aortic aneurysm repair.
Prompts vigilance for retrograde type B aortic dissection after FBEVAR; leaves open precise incidence and risk factors.
Retrograde type B aortic dissection after perivisceral aortic endograft placement is a rare occurrence, not well described in literature. A handful of case reports describe this complication after infrarenal endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR). We have identified retrograde type B aortic dissection after fenestrated-branched EVAR (F/BEVAR) as a rare, but real complication. We describe diagnosis and management of 4 such occurrences in the context of 344 F/BEVARs.

Chen et al. (2024) conducted a case report in Retrograde type B aortic dissection (n=344). Fenestrated-branched EVAR (F/BEVAR) was evaluated on Retrograde type B aortic dissection. Retrograde type B aortic dissection is a rare but real complication of fenestrated-branched endovascular aortic aneurysm repair, occurring in 4 out of 344 cases (1.2%).
