Zusammenfassung: | Objective Reports of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for complicated acute type B aortic dissection (ABAD) bring together a large range of clinical presentations. With a 30 day mortality of 50% when managed with open surgery, rupture is the most devastating complication of ABAD. This study investigated the outcome of TEVAR for ABAD complicated by rupture (r-ABAD) to assess the results of this particularly critical subgroup. Methods A review of consecutive TEVAR for r-ABAD in two tertiary referral centers was performed using a prospectively maintained database. Results Between 2000 and 2013, 24 patients (mean age 71 years; 14 males) underwent TEVAR for r-ABAD. Sixteen (67%) were in shock (Systolic blood pressure |
