Purpose: This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the clinical outcomes associated with endovascular treatment for acute complicated type B aortic dissection, with a focus on the complex process of aortic remodeling.

Materials And Methods: We conducted a retrospective investigation using data extracted from the Songklanagarind Hospital database between January 2010 and January 2022. Electronic medical records of patients who underwent thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for acute complicated type B aortic dissections were reviewed.

Article Synopsis
  • This study compares endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) and open surgery for treating infective native aortic aneurysms (INAA), finding that EVAR offers better survival rates but carries risks of infection-related complications (IRCs).
  • Researchers reviewed clinical and CT data from patients treated with EVAR between 2005 and 2020, analyzing factors that may predict the likelihood of developing IRCs post-surgery.
  • Key predictors for long-term IRCs identified include female sex, renal issues, positive blood cultures, aneurysm size, and involvement of surrounding tissues, with a prediction model achieving a C-index of 0.76.

Congenital renal artery aneurysm is uncommon. Moreover, renal artery aneurysm concomitant with a congenital renal arteriovenous fistula is extremely rare. Transarterial embolization is the first-line treatment for these conditions.
