Descending Aneurysm TEVAR with Elective Left Subclavian Coverage and Zone 2 LZ
Indications for TEVAR Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm FDA Approved Acute Complicated Type B Dissection Off-Label: Standard of Care Traumatic Aortic Rupture Off-Label: Investigational Chronic Type B Dissection
Chronic Dissection: Either Residual Type B after Type A Repair or simple Chronic Type B
Chronic Type B Dissection: TEVAR Prospective RCT of 140 patients with chronic type B dissection
Chronic Type B Dissection: TEVAR TEVAR TL diameter FL diameter 91.3% thoracic FL thrombosis Nienaber CA, et al. Circulation. 2009;120:2519-28. 6

History and Presentation 72 y/o M with an incidentally found Type IIIb dissection Size on CT 10/19- 5.2cm 12/10- 5.1cm 6/11- 5.8cm
Visceral Vessels 3 of 4 Mesentaric Blood Vessels off true lumen

Satisfactory Proximal LZ (Usually in Zone 2) Present Approach to Chronic Type B Dissection with late Aneurysm: Either Type B or “Residual” Debakey Type I Satisfactory Proximal LZ (Usually in Zone 2) No severe pseudo-coarctation (to guard against Stent collapse) Anatomy allows for Coverage of the Main primary tear site and any large thoracic fenestrations All 4 Mesentaric vessels off true lumen (sometimes ¾) Note/Perspective : 31 TEVAR, 72 Open TAAA (2003-2011) For Chronic Distal dissections
Chronic Type B aortic dissection: Again all 4 vessels off true lumen Pre-stenting Post-stenting
Conclusions In patients with chronic type B dissection, TEVAR: can promote aortic remodeling Has the potential to prevent aortic complications Selection and Conceptual Understanding Important
