Influence of Primary Intimal Tear Location in Type B Aortic Dissection as a Factor Portending Retrograde Type A Aortic Dissection after Endovascular Repair

摘要

Purpose: To investigate the effect of a primary intimal tear's position on the distal convexity as a factor predisposing patients to developing a retrograde type A aortic dissection (RTAAD) after endovascular repair for type B aortic dissections.
