Neurological Event Rates and Related Risk Factors in Acute Type B Aortic Dissections Treated by TEVAR – Results from the International Registry of Acute Aortic Dissection (IRAD)

Introduction: Type B acute aortic dissections (TBAAD) are increasingly treated with endovascular therapy (TEVAR). Neurological events are among the most devastating procedural complications. The incidence of perioperative neurologic events (stroke, spinal cord ischemia, transient neurological deficit or coma) and the related risk factors are relatively unknown. We analyzed perioperative neurological event rates (NE) and associated risk factors...
