Who is a good candidate for TEVAR?

Ideal candidates are patients with an uncomplicated type B aortic dissection, particularly those with persistent pain, rapid aneurysm expansion, or malperfusion syndrome. Contraindications include severe aortic valve insufficiency, a dissected aneurysm involving the ascending aorta (type A dissection), inadequate vascular access, or active infection. A thorough evaluation with CT angiography is required to confirm anatomical suitability.
