Predictive Value of the Preoperative Descending Aortic Tortuosity Index for Endoleak After Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair in Acute Type B Aortic Dissection
Background:Endoleak is one of the most common adverse events after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) in patients with acute complicated Stanford type B aortic dissection (cTBAD). Interestingly, endoleak may affect aortic remodeling and increase the risk of reintervention. Previous studies on postoperative end...
