24 Uncomplicated type B dissection: does it exist?

25 Subacute type B dissection -TEVAR for uncomplicated?- 90 % remodeling after TEVAR Contrast-enhanced MRA of chronic type B dissection originating from the aortic arch region in MIP (A) and as volume-rendered 3D reconstruction (B). Follow-up MRA at 7 days after stent-graft placement shows a completely sealed proximal entry to the thrombosed false lumen. The diameter of the true lumen is normalized and the descending aorta is reconstructed (C). Nienaber et al; Circ 2009; 120:

26 Remodeling and Outcomes Watanabe etal., J Endovasc Ther 2014; 21:

27 New risk group: False Lumen diameter: FL > 22 mm Two patients with a small initial false lumen diameter at the upper descending thoracic aorta showed a complete resorption of the false lumen (left) or did not show an aneurysm for approximately 3 years (middle), while another patient with a large initial false lumen diameter developed an aorta aneurysm after approximately 2.5 years (right). Song JM, et al. JACC 2007; 50:

Current Literature 2012

36 Rethinking TEVAR for Dissection Long-term follow-up of INSTEAD-XL and IRAD in type B aortic dissection reveals: - Uncomplicated type B dissection is a misnomer, is not stable and medical management is not safe - Isolation of the false lumen leads to remodeling to avoid new (late) acute scenarios - Successful remodeling (usually completed after 2 years) ensures longterm stability - Preemptive TEVAR in type B dissection sets the stage for remodeling and will become a therapeutic option for all candidates with a reasonable life expectancy

37 Nevertheless. INSTEAD-XL and IRAD-LT encourages stent-graft induced remodeling in any type B aortic dissection Ann Thorac Surg 2008

41 Facts Dissection TEVAR is effective and safe in complicated type B TEVAR did not improve 2-years survival in stable type B Favourable aortic remodelling INSTEAD Trial 5-years encouraging for pre-emptive TEVAR Courtesy of Dr. FJ Criado Courtesy of M.M.Thompson Mother registry

42 Rethinking TEVAR for Dissection Are there patients that should not be treated with TEVAR?...may be a few! - Stable chronic patients with complete False Lumen thrombosis (IRAD; NEJM 2007) - Stable chronic patients with tiny entry tears (<10mm) and no FL expansion (Evangelista et al., Circulation 2012; Song et al., JACC 2007) - Stable patients with a life expectancy of less than 2 years (INSTEAD-XL, Circulation CVInt 2013) - Stable chronic dissection without FDG-uptake on PET imaging LIEGE/Rostock project (under review) - Need for proximal arch/zone 0 debranching/consider open surgery or branched TEVAR (Bünger et al., JVS 2013)
