To evaluate the mid-term outcomes following thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for chronic type B aortic dissection (TBD), especially to know which re-entry closure affects the thoracic false lumen remodeling in the late chronic TBD. : From April 2017 to April 2022, 25 patients with chronic TBD underwent TEVAR. The late chronic TBD received the re-entry closure including stent-graft deployment in the renal artery, infrarenal aorta, and unilateral or bilateral iliac artery.

Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has recently been introduced as a durable treatment option, with outcomes comparable to those yielded by conventional open repair. However, owing to the rarity of the disease, the strengths and limitations of each treatment remain uncertain.

This study evaluated clinical outcomes of surgical treatment for PAES in a clinical setting where PAES cases were not centralised.
Methods: Multicentre, retrospective cohort study using a national clinical registry.
Background: We developed an adventitial overlay method for reinforcing aortic anastomoses. This study evaluated the midterm morphologic and clinical outcomes of this method.
Methods: We harvested and prepared adventitia from a resected aneurysm or dissected aortic wall and performed aortic repair using the adventitial overlay method.
