Up to Date of JCS/JSCVS/JATS/JSVS 2020 Guideline on Diagnosis and Treatment of Aortic Aneurysm and Aortic Dissection: Endovascular Treatment

Abstract

For abdominal aortic aneurysms, “In cases with a life expectancy of more than 10 years, open repair may be considered rather than EVAR” is recommended in Class IIb, and for thoracic aortic aneurysms, TEVAR for descending aortic aneurysms that meet anatomic requirements is recommended in Class I. For type B aortic dissection, “Preemptive TEVAR for high-risk uncomplicated cases, such as those in which future expansion is anticipated” is recommended in Class IIa.
