Initial Study of the Extended STABILISE Technique for Complete Remodeling in Aortic Dissection.

Background: Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is the standard treatment for acute complicated type B aortic dissection (TBAD). However, long-term results reveal that TEVAR does not achieve a complete aortic remodeling and poses a risk of aneurysmal aortic degeneration. Distal re-entry treatment at the abdominal level seems to be necessary to obtain a complete remodeling in TBAD.

Aortic infection is a challenging condition. Fortunately, surgical revision of infected aorta with in situ reconstruction can provide long-term cure. The material for aortic repair remains an area of debate.
