Objective To investigate the causes of different types of endoleak after thoracic endovascular aortic repair(TEVAR)for Stanford type B aortic dissection, and to discuss its management. Methods The clinical data and imaging data of 105 patients with Stanford type B aortic dissection, who were admitted to authors' hospital during the period from September 2008 to February 2017 to receive TEVAR, were collected and reviewed. Reasons of intraoperative endoleak or after operation were analyzed, different treatments for the source of endoleak and leakage were taken and the conversions followed were observed. Results Acute endoleak was occurred in 11 patients during operation, including endoleak typeⅠ (n=8,7.6%)and endoleak type Ⅱ (n=3,2.8%). Delayed endoleak was seen in 3 patients, including endoleak typeⅠ (n=1,1.0%)and endoleak type Ⅱ (n=2,1.9%). Both in-operative and postoperative endoleak occurred in 14 patients (13.3%). After TEVAR, no serious complications such as displacement of stent, paraplegia or renal artery ischemia occurred. Conclusion According to the different reasons, endoleak can be divided into five types, among them, type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ are most common. Different endoleak should be handle in different ways.Correct judgment of endoleak type is the premise of reasonable and effective treatment for endoleak.
