Conditions

Type B Aortic Dissection

Brief summary

This study aims to evaluate the feasibility, effectiveness, and safety of in-situ laser-assisted fenestration on the left subclavian artery during the procedure of thoracic artery endovascular repair

Detailed description

This study is a single-arm, prospective study. All patients with type B aortic dissection (TBAD) present with the proximal tear site located approximately close to the left subclavian artery and a reconstruction of the left subclavian artery is necessary are included in the present study. During the procedure of thoracic artery endovascular repair (TEVAR), the left subclavian artery will be reconstructed with laser-assisted fenestration and the fenestrated stent will be covered stents (fluency, viabhan, lifestream).

Type Ib endoleak is a distal perigraft leak caused by a tear in the intimal membrane adjacent to the distal edge of the endograft (distal stent graft-induced new entry, SINE). Type II endoleak is continued retrograde false lumen perfusion through an arch branch (eg, left subclavian artery as demonstrated in the illustration) or intercostal or bronchial artery.

Outcome results

Primary

Freedom From All-cause Reintervention, All-cause Mortality and Major Adverse Events Within 30 Days After Procedure

The primary safety endpoint was freedom from major adverse events within 30 days after procedure. The major adverse events included mortality, stroke, myocardial infarction, rupture, paraplegia, type Ia endoleak, major bleeding, acute kidney injury, limb ischemia, bowel ischemia, retrograde dissection, stent-induced new entry (SINE), access site complications and unplanned reinterventions.

Time frame: within 30 days after procedure

Population: The primary safety endpoint was 84% (84/100), with 19 events occurring in 16 patients.
