Article Synopsis
- A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to determine the best timing for thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) in patients with uncomplicated type B aortic dissection (uTBAD).
- The analysis included data from 490 citations, ultimately focusing on 1,193 patients from three studies, comparing outcomes between acute and subacute treatment groups.
- Results indicated that while the acute group had higher 30-day complication and mortality rates, long-term follow-up mortality rates were similar for both groups, suggesting timing may not affect long-term outcomes.

Angiogenesis plays an important role in the occurrence and development of tumors. Registered tyrosine kinase inhibitors targeting vascular endothelial growth factor reduce angiogenesis. Apatinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, can specifically inhibit vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2, showing encouraging anti-tumor effects in a variety of tumors including advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
