Event Description

Medtronic received a journal article titled 'management and outcomes of non-a non-b aortic dissection'.From january 2016 to may 2020, 215 consecutive patients with acute or subacute non-a non-b aortic dissection were enrolled in a study.The primary endpoints were all cause death.Secondary endpoints included follow up adverse aortic event (ae), a composite of the outcomes of dissection related death, rupture, retrograde type a aortic dissection, stent graft induced new entry tear, secondary endoleak, and follow up re-intervention.Patients were divided into three groups according to the treatment they received: the best medical treatment (bmt) group (n = 46), the endovascular-based treatment (ebt) group (n = 127), and the total arch replacement with frozen elephant trunk (tar þ fet) group (n= 42).Technical success for endovascular treatment was defined as successful introduction and deployment of the device without re-intervention, death within 24 hours, type i or type iii endoleak as evidenced by intra-operative completion angiography, or graft obstruction.The primary endpoint was all cause death.Secondary endpoints included follow up aortic adverse events (aes), a composite of the outcomes of dissection related death, rupture, retrograde type a aortic dissection, stent graft induced new entry tear (sine), secondary endoleak, and follow up re-intervention.Early outcomes were defined as death and morbidity during hospitalisation or within 30 days from intervention.Follow up re-intervention was described as any unplanned re-endovascular treatment or open surgery > 30 days after intervention (ebt or tar þ fet group) or any intervention after index discharge (bmt group) due to complications of index treatment, device failure, or progression of the dissection process.Ebt involved thoracic endovascular aortic repair (tevar) with (tevar zone 0/1/2) or without (tevar zone 2) supra-arch bypass or chimney stent implantation.The diameters of the aortic stent grafts were generally oversized by 10% e 15% for chimney stent implantation and 5% e 10% for other implantations.Chimney stents used included complete se and 5 other non-medtronic brands.Outcomes reported in the endovascular based treatment group reported were stroke, mesenteric ischaemia, retrograde type a dissection, aortic rupture, re-intervention, re-occlusion and thrombus.
