Uncomplicated type B aortic dissection is generally treated with medical management. Complicated dissections require surgery or TEVAR. Surgical management of complicated type B aortic dissection is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. This study is to evaluate the clinical outcome of endovascular treatment of this pathology and the significance of its morbidity and mortality.Methods: TEVAR was performed for fifteen patients with complicated type B aortic dissections from the period between July 2015 and May 2017.The following was performed for all patients: Assessment of demographic data, laboratory investigations and radiological assessment. Measurements plan and device selection. Assessment of complications of type B aortic dissection indicating intervention. Endovascular deployment of thoracic aortic stent-graft. Reversal or improvement of complications of type B aortic dissection.Follow up CT angiography 1 month, 6 months and 1 year post procedure. All cases presented and analyzed to highlight the details of this method of management, procedural challenges and how we manage the intra and early post procedure complication. The results analyzed, calculated, tabulated and presented
