Abstract
TEVAR for subacute type B AD appears to be associated with acceptable perioperative and long-term results. In contrast to previous reports, there is still a risk for postoperative retrograde type A AD even when patients are treated in the subacute phase when the aorta is less fragile. Aortic remodeling occurs in the majority of patients, but requires frequent aortic reinterventions, an observation that underlines the need for life-long surveillance.
