Abstract
Objective This study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) combined with Best Medical Therapy (BMT) in acute uncomplicated type B aortic dissection (TBAD). Methods Using the random method, 90 patients admitted to our hospital between January 2018 and January 2020 with acute uncomplicated TBAD were randomly divided into a control group and a study group, with 45 cases in each of the groups. The effectiveness of BMT combined with TEVAR treatment was compared. Results The incidence of recent adverse reactions did not differ significantly between the two groups. Compared to the control group, the 1-year survival rate and 2-year survival rate of patients in the study group were considerably higher. In order to examine the relationship between survival and time, the Kaplan-Meier curve was used. Both groups reached the median survival time after 24 months of follow-up. The expected survival time of the study group was longer than that of the control group. False lumen thrombosis or absence of thrombus was significantly more prevalent in the study group than in the control group. Conclusion For patients with acute uncomplicated TBAD, BMT combined with TEVAR can significantly improve the long-term survival rate and increase the expected survival time.
