Bare Metal Stent Use in Type B Aortic Dissection May Offer Positive Remodeling for the Distal Aorta

Thoracic endovascular aortic repair is increasingly used in acute complicated type B aortic dissection. The objective of this study was to demonstrate evidence of aortic remodeling by using a Proximal ExTension to Induce COmplete ATtachment (PETTICOAT) system in patients with acute complicated type B aortic dissections.From 2013 to 2016, 213 patients with type B aortic dissection were seen at our institution. A total of 33 of those patients...
