The use of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for the management of uncomplicated type B aortic dissection (un‐TBAD) remains controversial. There is a lack of consensus over whether pre‐emptive TEVAR should be carried out in patients with un‐TBAD at risk of progression to complicated TBAD. We present a review of current evidence and seek to suggest criteria where endovascular intervention in un‐TBAD may prove beneficial relative to pharmacotherapy alone.
