TAA 20. Analysis for Deteriorating Development of Aortic Dissection After Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair

As the preferred method for treatment of type B dissection, thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has been recognized by clinicians for its efficacy compared with open surgery. However, some serious complications still occur after TEVAR, such as progression of anterograde tear of the dissection, formation of new intimal rupture, rupture of the dissection aneurysm, and retrograde type A dissection (RTAD). Although the incidence rate of these complications is not high, the consequence is serious and should cause the clinician's attention.
