The changes of aortic diameter after aortic repair with aortic tailoring technique for chronic type B aortic dissection [AORTIC SURGERY]
CONCLUSIONS
Aortic tailoring is a useful surgical technique for chronic type B aortic dissection. Paraplegia and ischaemia of other visceral organs could less likely occur. Patients with a completely thrombosed false lumen revealed no aortic events; however, a patent false lumen was associated with a high risk of aortic events.
