Comparison of Stanford B Aortic Dissection Patients Who Received Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair Combined with or without Sleep Apnea Syndrome

Stanford B AD patients who had SAS are likely to have higher BMI. After treating with TEVAR, they usually have longer hospitalization and ICU stay time, as well as higher complication rate. However, there are no significant differences of the survival rate in midtime follow-up. The respiratory system evaluation should be considered carefully in those patients who have diagnosed as having SAS before and after TEVAR because those patients' survival situation may have correlation with their respiratory condition.
