title: Impact of tear location on hemodynamics in a type B aortic dissection investigated with computational fluid dynamics.
abstract: Stanford type B aortic dissections (TB-AD), which split the descending aorta in a true and false lumen, have better in-hospital survival than type A dissections affecting the ascending aorta. However, short-term and long-term prognosis for the individual patient remains challenging, with one in four patients not surviving after 3 years.
