Abstract Objective: Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) of type B aortic dissection (AD) is to initiate the thrombosis in the false lumen to eventually result in aortic remodeling. We aim to find out whether the false lumen (FL) thrombosis rate after TEVAR can be predicted accurately by an index that expresses the degree of aortic arch angulation. Method: Three-dimensional aortic arch geometry of 39 type B AD patients (mean age: 48 years) after TEVR were reconstructed from post-operative CT images. For the first time, the question mark which takes into account the curvature of both aortic arch… More >
