title: Influence of tear configuration on false and true lumen haemodynamics in type B aortic dissection.
abstract: The management and follow-up of chronic type B aortic dissections continues being a clinical challenge. Patients with chronic type B dissection have high mid/long term mortality mainly due to progressive aortic dilatation and subsequent rupture.
