Abstract:Objective:To evaluate the methods, applicability and results of cndovascular therapy for Stanford type B aortic dissection.
Methods:The clinical data of 36 cases of Stanford type B aortic dissection were analysed retrospectively. The stent-grafts were introduced via femoral arteriotomy. Stent-grafts were implanted to blockade tears of aortic dissection under the guidance of DSA.
Results:In all cases,the aortic dissection tears were blockaded, true lumens were opened,and organs function was restored.There were not complications such as internal hemorrhage due to trauma or stent displacement on CTA 3 and 12 months after endovascular therapywhile 2 cases developed new tears.The caliber of the 36 true lumens was restored to near normal. Twenty-two pseudocoeloms were obliterated,while the others were reduced is size and had varying degrees of thrombosis.
Conclusions:Endovascular thcrapy is safe and effectivc for the patients with Stanford type B aortic dissection. Its clinical application has a favorable outlook.
