Complete Thoracic Aorta Remodeling after Endovascular Aortic Repair: A New Therapeutic Goal for Chronic DeBakey IIIb Aneurysms.

In chronic DeBakey IIIb aneurysms, complete thoracic aorta remodeling may be the ideal target for endovascular treatment rather than false lumen thrombosis. Additional procedures to eliminate the obstacles to complete thoracic aorta remodeling (number of visceral branches from the false lumen and residual intimal tears) and close follow-up after thoracic false lumen thrombosis may be needed to achieve the optimal outcome.
