Key result
TEVAR increases stented true lumen volume ~48% in acute complicated type B aortic dissection.
Why the study?
The effects of thoracic endovascular aortic repair on late-stage aortic remodeling in acute complicated type B aortic dissection patients were not well characterized.
Does TEVAR affect aortic remodeling (volume changes of true and false lumens) in patients with acute complicated type B aortic dissection?
Cohort (n=18)
No

p-value: p=0.0145
TEVAR for acute complicated type B aortic dissection promotes positive aortic remodeling by increasing true lumen volume and decreasing false lumen volume in the stented segment.

Serkan Ertugay (2015) conducted a cohort in Acute complicated type B aortic dissection (n=18). Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) was evaluated on Volume changes of true and false lumens in the stent-graft part of the descending thoracic aorta (Segment 1) (p=0.0145). Thoracic endovascular aortic repair for acute complicated type B aortic dissection increased mean true lumen volume in the stented segment from 74.4 mL to 110 mL (p=0.0145).
