The study needed 28 events to have an adequate power while only 11 events were observed. The study randomized 140 persons with type B aortic dissection which was stable for at least 2 weeks into stent grafting vs optimal medical treatment strategies. The primary endpoint was all cause mortality at 2 years while secondary endpoints were aorta related death, progression (needing conversion or additional endovascular or open surgery) and aortic remodeling. In the TEVAR group there was 1 paraplegia, 1 stroke and 1 transient paraparesis while there was one paraparesis in the medical treatment group. Aortic remodeling with recovery of true lumen and thrombosis of thoracic false lumen occurred in 91.3% of TEVAR vs 19.4% in medical treatment group (P&lt;0.001). There was no difference in the aorta related death rate nor was there any difference in the risk of the combined end point of aorta related death (due to rupture) and progression, including the need for further procedures.<\/p>\n<p>Though the initial report was negative, the 2-5 year result was heartening [3]. TEVAR was associated with improved 5 year aorta-specific survival and delayed disease progression. Stent graft induced false lumen thrombosis was noted in 90.6% of cases.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">References<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Christoph A Nienaber, Herv\u00e9 Rousseau, Holger Eggebrecht, Stephan Kische, Rossella Fattori, Tim C Rehders, G\u00fcnther Kundt, Dierk Scheinert, Martin Czerny, Tilo Kleinfeldt, Burkhart Zipfel, Louis Labrousse, H\u00fcseyin Ince, INSTEAD Trial. <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/19996018\/\">Randomized comparison of strategies for type B aortic dissection: the INvestigation of STEnt Grafts in Aortic Dissection (INSTEAD) trial<\/a>.
