Over the last decades, great advancement has been made in endovascular repair of aortic dissection. Endovascular repair for type B aortic dissections has been widely accepted and proven as a safety and effective treatment. Endovascular repair, however, carries with specific issues, including retrograde type A aortic dissection, distal stent-graft induced new entry tear, different types of endoleak, migration and collapse of stent-graft, and management of distal entry tears. These issues are closely related with prognosis. How to prevent and manage them appropriately has gained increasing attention. For type A aortic dissection, open surgery remains the gold standard, while 14% patients were unfit for open surgery, the mortality rate of which had no improvement in the past decade. Endovascular repair could greatly benefit those patients, and explorations have been made in endovascular repair of type A aortic dissection.
In this research topic, we would like to create a forum for current advances and challenges on endovascular repair of type A aortic dissection, appropriate time in endovascular repair of aortic dissection, prevention and intervention for complications after endovascular repair of aortic dissection, and treatment of distal entry tears of aortic dissection.
We welcome submissions on the following topics, but are not limited to:
- Challenges in endovascular repair of type A aortic dissection
- Appropriate timing in endovascular repair of aortic dissection
- Prevention and management for complications after endovascular repair of aortic dissection.
- Challenges in treatment of distal entry tears of aortic dissection
