BACKGROUND—Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) represents a therapeutic concept for type B aortic dissection. Long-term outcomes and morphology after TEVAR for uncomplicated dissection are unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS—A total of 140 patients with stable type B aortic dissection previously ra...
