There is still a considerable controversy regarding optimal treatment for patients with acute type B aortic dissection. Patients with complicated disease are particularly challenging for cardiovascular treatment. Early surgery for acute dissections of the descending aorta with life-threatening complications is known to carry a high mortality. Endovascular stent grafting is developing as an alternative treatment mainly for chronic stages of type B aortic dissection. It is not clear whether endovascular stent grafting is safe and effective in emergency treatment of acute type B aortic dissection.
