Aortic Remodeling After Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair for Nonacute Uncomplicated Type B Aortic Dissection.

Background: Entry closure with thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for Stanford type B aortic dissection (TBAD) results in aortic remodeling recently. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between aortic diameter or timing of surgical intervention from onset and remodeling after TEVAR for uncomplicated nonacute TBAD.

Methods: Between April 2014 and December 2021, 83 consecutive patients underwent TEVAR for TBAD at our center.

Two Cases of Protruding Thrombus in the Ascending Aorta.

In the first case, a 60-year-old man was referred to our hospital for a sudden stomachache. A computed tomography scan revealed a thrombus at ascending aorta with acute mesenteric ischemia. In the second case, a 62-year old man developed a hypoglycemic attack with unbalanced diet.
