Type B aortic dissection is a life-threatening aortic disease. With the development of clinical classification and diagnostic method, the mortality of type B aortic dissection has been greatly decreased. In respect of treatment, endovascular repair due to minimally invasive advantages become the first choice for the treatment of complicated type B aortic dissection.

Open surgery is only available for patients who are not suitable for endovascular repair or repair failure or patients with connective tissue disease.
