ObjectiveTo analyze the causes and preventions of stent graft induced new entry (SINE) after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for Stanford type B dissection, particularly from the standpoint of biomechanical behavior of stent graft. MethodsSINE was defined as the new tear caused by the stent graft itself, excluding those arising from natural disease progression or any iatrogenic injury from the endovascular manipulation. Twentytwo patients with SINE were retrospectively collected and analyzed out of 650 cases undergoing TEVAR for type B dissection from August 2000 to June 2008 in our center. An additional case included was referred to our center in 14 months after TEVAR performed in another hospital. ResultsTotally, there were 24 SINEs found in 23 cases, including SINE at the proximal end in 15 cases, at the distal end in 7, and at both in 1, and 6 patients died. The incidence was 3.4% ( 22/650) in our hospital, and the mortality was 26.1% (6/23). All 16 proximal SINEs was located at the greater curve of the arch and caused retrograde type A dissection. All 8 distal SINEs occurred at the dissected flap, and 5 of them caused enlarging aneurysm while 3 remained stable. All 23 cases had the endograft placed across the distal aortic arch during the primary TEVAR. ConclusionsSINE is not rare following TEVAR for type B dissection, and associates with a high substantial mortality. The stress yielded by the endograft seems to play a predominant role in its occurrence. It is of significance to take the stressinduced injury into account during both design and placement of the endograft.
