Thoracic endovascular aortic repair versus open chest surgical repair for patients with type B aortic dissection: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Conclusions: The findings of this meta-analysis study suggested that TEVAR resulted in more short-term survival benefits. Moreover, the reduced risk of acute renal failure, respiratory failure and bleeding was detected in TEVAR group. The treatment effects of TEVAR versus OCSR on specific complications should be further verified by a study with high-level of evidence. Key message Comprehensive collected studies investigated the treatment effectiveness between TEVAR and OCSR for TBAD patients TEVAR resulted in more survival benefits, in addition to lower risk of acute renal failure, respiratory failure and bleeding The resu...

Outcome of Frozen Elephant Trunk Technique for Acute Type A Aortic Dissection: As Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Abstract: Acute aortic dissections of Stanford type A require emergency surgery repair and present challenges to surgeons. The frozen elephant technique is one of several approaches used to treat aortic arch dissection. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to investigate the clinical effectiveness of the frozen elephant technique for treating acute type A aortic dissection. Medline, Cochrane, Google Scholar, and ClinicalTrials.gov databases were searched up to March 31, 2014, for studies that assessed the use of frozen elephant trunk technique for treating acute type A aortic dissection. The primary outcome was in-hospita...
