A novel method for prevention of stent graft-induced distal re-dissection after thoracic endovascular aortic repair for Type B aortic dissection.
Summary of "A novel method for prevention of stent graft-induced distal re-dissection after thoracic endovascular aortic repair for Type B aortic dissection."
Stent graft-induced distal re-dissection (SIDR) is a burdensome complication after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for Type B aortic dissection. We developed a novel method to prevent SIDR by placing a small-diameter short stent graft [Excluder Aortic Extender (Cuff)] at the distal landing zone (DLZ) and reviewed its effectiveness in this study.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Graft Enhancement, Immunologic
The induction of prolonged survival and growth of allografts of either tumors or normal tissues which would ordinarily be rejected. It may be induced passively by introducing graft-specific antibodies from previously immunized donors, which bind to the graft's surface antigens, masking them from recognition by T-cells; or actively by prior immunization of the recipient with graft antigens which evoke specific antibodies and form antigen-antibody complexes which bind to the antigen receptor sites of the T-cells and block their cytotoxic activity.
Neck Dissection
Dissection in the neck to remove all disease tissues including cervical LYMPH NODES and to leave an adequate margin of normal tissue. This type of surgery is usually used in tumors or cervical metastases in the head and neck. The prototype of neck dissection is the radical neck dissection described by Crile in 1906.
Host Vs Graft Reaction
The immune responses of a host to a graft. A specific response is GRAFT REJECTION.
Graft Vs Host Reaction
An immunological attack mounted by a graft against the host because of tissue incompatibility when immunologically competent cells are transplanted to an immunologically incompetent host; the resulting clinical picture is that of GRAFT VS HOST DISEASE.
Graft Survival
The survival of a graft in a host, the factors responsible for the survival and the changes occurring within the graft during growth in the host.
