Abstract

To assess morphological changes of distal aorta and the risk factors for adverse aortic remodeling inpost-TEVAR（thoracic endovascular aortic repair） patients with acute Stanford B aortic dissection.  Methods  We retrospectively investigated the patients who underwent TEVAR for a type B dissection between October 2005 and December 2015. CT angiogram (CTA) was obtained for each patients preoperatively, postoperatively and during the post-operational follow-up. Based on Criadol partition principle, we divided the aorta into descending thoracic aorta area, suprarenal abdominal aorta area, infrarenal abdominal aorta area and iliac artery area, and evaluated the distribution of aortic tears and the form of true and false lumen in different aortic partition. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to analyze the risk factors affecting distal aortic remodeling.  Results  Of 216 patients[(mean follow-up (3.9±2.1) years] who were regularly followed up in our center, 47 patients (21.8%) occurred adverse remodeling in distal aorta. Univariate logistic regression indicated that abnormal aortic wall structure (Marfan's syndrome) and patent false lumen (existence of distal tears, decreased complete false lumen thrombosis) were associated with distal aortic adverse remodeling. Multivariate logistic regression showed that more tears in descending thoracic aorta area (OR=1.36, 95%CI=1.12-1.58, P=0.005) and less tears in infrarenal abdominal aorta area (OR=0.49, 95%CI=0.22-0.71, P<0.001) were independent risk factors affecting remodeling in distal aorta after TEVAR.  Conclusions  Aortic wall structure abnormalities, a patent false lumen, more tears in descending thoracic aorta area, less tears in infrarenal abdominal aorta area are independent risk factors for adverse aortic remodeling in post-TEVAR patients with acute Stanford B aortic dissection.
