Open Surgical Versus Endovascular Repair for Type B Aortic Dissection: Umbrella Review and Meta-Analysis.
This umbrella review and meta-analysis compared thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) with open surgical repair (OSR) for type B aortic dissection, synthesizing 11 systematic reviews identified through searches…
Technical Notes: Open Ascending Aorta and Valve Repair Following Total Arch Endovascular Repair.
Two patients with prior arch-branched endovascular repair (B-TEVAR) underwent open surgery involving the ascending aorta and heart valves.
