ACUTE TYPE B AORTIC DISSECTION
25-40 % of all dissections
• 80 % (uncomplicated), preferred management is medical Rx
• 15 -20% (complicated): rupture, malperfusion, refractory medical therapy/HTN – consider surgical or endovascular Rx

A, Kaplan–Meier estimates of all-cause mortality (death) and Landmark analysis with a breakpoint at 24 months after randomization to the end of the trial are shown for optimal
medical treatment (OMT) and OMT + thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) groups.

High-Risk Uncomplicated Acute TBAD Uncertainty remains regarding optimal management strategy
for high-risk uncomplicated acute TBAD
Consideration of early intervention appears reasonable in following scenarios:• Initial aortic diameter ≥ 4.0cm with patent false lumen• ≥ 22mm false lumen in proximal DTA• Recurrent/refractory pain or HTN• Partially thrombosed false lumen• Proximal entry tear ≥ 10mm• Entry tear on inner curve
Well-designed, prospective, randomized trial needed
