Objective  To explore the correlation between gender and long-term prognosis of patients with type-B acute aortic dissection (AAD) after endovascular therapy (EVT). Methods  From January to December 2012, all patients with type-B AAD undergoing EVT were enrolled by retrospective and observational study. They were divided into male and female groups. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to analyze the correlation between gender and the cumulative survival rate. Results  A total of 131 tyep-B AAD patients who had undergone EVT were selected, including 97 males (74.0%), and 34 females (26.0%). The medium follow-up duration was 2.1 years. Smoking history, cholesterol, white blood cell count, hemoglobin, creatinine and uric acid of the patients in males were higher than those in females (P<0.05); while the difference in other indexes were not significant (P>0.05). The inhospital mortality of male patients was 10 (10.3%), and was 3 (8.8%) in female patients; there was no significant difference between the two groups (P=0.803). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that there was no significant difference in cumulative survival rate between the two groups (84.5% vs. 82.4%; Logrank test χ2=0.023, P=0.880). Conclusion  No correlation between gender and long-term prognosis in patients with type-B AAD after EVT is found.
