Distal aortic reintervention after surgery for acute DeBakey type I or II aortic dissection: open versus endovascular repair [AORTIC SURGERY]

CONCLUSIONS
Endovascular intervention for descending aortic pathologies after DeBakey type I or II dissection surgical repair is associated with lower in-hospital mortality and better survival, and does not raise the likelihood of later reinterventions at the mid-term follow-up.
