Abstract

Type B aortic dissections are being successfully treated by thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). Persistent postoperative false lumen filling has been associated with aneurysmal dilatation of the thoracic aorta and can necessitate further intervention. This is the first volumetric analysis of type B aortic dissections comparing patients with and without false lumen thrombosis (FLT) after TEVAR. We hypothesized that greater increases in postoperative true lumen volume are associated with FLT.
