Abstract
Conservative treatment of uncomplicated type B aortic dissection is associated with low short-term mortality. However long-term mortality and complication rates are high, suggesting the need for more aggressive treatment. Studies suggest that combining medical treatment with thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is associated with a better prognosis. TEVAR is not without risk, however, and it is paramount to identify characteristics of risk and benefit as summarised in this review.
