Progress in diagnosis and treatment of Stanford type B aortic dissection
The diagnosis and treatment of Stanford type B aortic dissection(TBAD)has been greatly improved in recent years due to a better understanding of the disease.On one hand,the classification of TBAD has been more refined,thus enabling better guidance for AD diagnosis and treatment.On the other hand,the using of new imaging tests and biomarkers has helped to further improve the accuracy of AD diagnosis.In terms of treatment,along with the rapid development of endovascular technology,the treatment of TBAD tends to be minimally invasive,and the result is also significantly improved.Endovascular therapy of TBAD involving aortic arch or visceral areas is a hot topic nowadays,and many new methods and devices have emerged in this areas,which are expected to further improve the clinical outcome.
