Preserved Fulltext
Controversy exists about the optimal treatment of acute uncomplicated type B aortic dissection (auTBAD). Optimal medical therapy (OMT) provides excellent short-term outcomes, but long-term results are poor. Ideally, auTBAD patients who will fail to respond to OMT in the chronic phase could be identified and undergo thoracic endovascular aortic repair. The purpose of this study was to identify radiographic predictors of auTBAD patients who will fail to respond to OMT.
