Abstract
Type A aortic dissection (TAAD) has been associated with thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for aortic conditions, both dissection and aneurysm. Our purpose was to study a subset of patients who had an initial TEVAR for type B aortic dissection, followed later by a TAAD which was treated by open ascending aortic repair. Over a 6-year period, 171 consecutive patients underwent open ascending aortic repair for TAAD, of whom 21 (12%) had a previous cardiovascular procedure, 17 of which were endovascular. Nine (5.2%) of the total 171 TAAD patients had a prior TEVAR for a type B. The mean interval from TEVAR to open ascending aortic repair for TAAD was 4.6 years, with only 1 occurring within a month. Only one patient had abnormal aortic media by histology. In 5 of the 9 patients, the entry tear was in the proximal ascending aorta, remote from the endograft, which suggests that a TAAD late after TEVAR for type B represents a new spontaneous event.
