Distal Extended EndoVascular Aortic Repair (DEEVAR) Petticoat: a modified technique to improve false lumen remodeling in acute type B aortic dissection

Data from the literature suggests that in patients with acute, complicated type B aortic dissection (cTBAD) initial successful treatment with Thoracic Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (TEVAR) is not necessarily associated with favorable remodeling of the dissected aorta during follow-up and long-term results indicate that TEVAR failed to completely suppress false lumen patency. Sealing of all relevant distal re-entries, infrarenal and/or iliac, seems to be the key issue to induce total false lumen thrombosis in abdominal aorta as well as the iliac arteries, especially in complicated patients presenting with malperfusion or complete true lumen collapse.
