Background: The effects of thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair (TEVAR) with additional distal bare metal stents (BMSs) in patients with subacute complicated type B aortic dissection (cTBAD) are unclear and are investigated in this retrospective study.
Methods: The medical records of 67 patients who received TEVAR due to subacute cTBAD were reviewed. Areas of true lumen (TL) and false lumen at five levels-pulmonary artery (PA), diaphragm, renal artery (RA), middle of the infrarenal aorta, and aortic bifurcation-were measured using computed tomography before and 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery. The TL ratio (TL area/total aortic area) and total aortic area at each time point were compared between the TEVAR + BMS (n = 37) and TEVAR-only (n = 30) groups. The effects of BMS use and time were evaluated using generalized estimating equations and generalized linear regression models.
Results: Baseline characteristics, remodeling types, and clinical outcomes did not differ significantly between the two groups. Postoperative TL ratios at the diaphragm and RA were significantly higher in the TEVAR + BMS group than in the TEVAR-only group ( p < 0.05). BMS use and time had significant interaction effects at the PA, diaphragm, and RA (all p < 0.05), but effects on total aortic area were not significant at any of the five parts. TL ratios at the diaphragm and RA exhibited greater improvement in the TEVAR + BMS group than in the TEVAR-only group at postoperative months 6 and 12 (all p < 0.001). Aortic diameters at all five parts were significantly smaller in the TEVAR + BMS group than in the TEVAR-only group (all p < 0.05).
Conclusion: In patients with subacute cTBAD, TEVAR with BMS implantation effectively expands the TL from the thoracic aorta to the RA but neither enhances aortic remodeling nor elicits any change in total aortic area in whole dissected aorta relative to TEVAR only.

Background: The risk of limb graft occlusion (LGO) after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is increased by severe tortuosity of the iliac artery. A bare metal stent (BMS) may protect LGO, according to the hypothesis of this single-center retrospective analysis.
Methods: All patients undergoing elective EVAR with a bifurcated stent graft between January 2012 and June 2022 were included in this cohort study.

: There is a paucity of data concerning the feasibility and value of thoracic aortic stent graft implantation (TEVAR) applications for removing tumors infiltrating the aortic wall. This analysis aimed to demonstrate the feasibility of TEVAR and monitor the perioperative risks of morbidity and mortality. Additionally, a literature review was performed.

Objective: To evaluate in vitro the performance of in vivo published covered or bare metal chimney stents (ChSs) in combination with the Endurant II abdominal endograft (Medtronic) as the only CE approved main graft (MG) in the treatment of juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms with the chimney endovascular aneurysm repair (chEVAR) technique.
Methods: Bench top experimental study. A silicon flow model with adjustable physiological simulating conditions and patient based anatomy was used to test nine different MG-ChS combinations: Advanta V12 (Getinge); BeGraft (Bentley); VBX (Gore & Associates Inc.

Purpose: The aim was to assess the mid-term aortic remodeling and bare-metal stent (BMS) integrity of the restricted bare stent (RBS) technique reconstruction in aortic dissections.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective cohort study included prospectively collected patients treated with the modified RBS technique between 2017 and 2020. The preoperative, postoperative, and last follow-up computed tomographic (CT) scans were analyzed in the centerline at the mid-descending, celiac trunk (CeT), and the mid-abdominal levels for false lumen (FL) patency, aortic diameter, and true lumen (TL) diameter changes.
