  2. Patient Characteristics

  3. Characteristics of 8 patients complicated with DPA after Endografting for Type B Dissection

  4. Distal Pseudoaneurysm Yes No Yes-censored No-censored Rate of freedom Reintervention years

  5. When passively bent at the arch, the self-expanding stent graft has the inherent tendency to spring back to its initial straight status.

  6. When passively bent at the arch, the self-expanding stent graft has the inherent tendency to spring back to its initial straight status.

  7. Conclusions • Endovascular treatment in chronic type B dissection has a high technical success rate and low mortality • Pseudoaneurysm of the thoracic aorta is a rare and potentially fatal condition • Potential mechanism: • Trauma caused by the semi-rigid stent graft • Fragility of the aortic wall and disease progression • Excessive radial force due to distal oversizing of the stent graft prosthesis to > 20% • Development of dissection-specific, less-rigid endo- prosthesis
