Conclusions Low 30-day mortality and paraplegia rates for petticoat technique using the Zenith dissection system. Aortic remodeling was observed within and beyond the stent-grafted segment, in both acute and non-acute dissections There exists a risk of aortic dilation, especially in dissections treated in the acute phase Management of ctabd is a long-term commitment 45
