Description
Natalia Niklas and five co-authors compare two repairs for a torn aorta in this 2023 review. The tear type in question affects the descending aorta, and both treatments thread a fabric covered stent through the vessel. The PETTICOAT method adds a bare metal extension meant to hold the torn layers together more fully.
Pooling five studies with 360 patients, the team found that PETTICOAT patients needed fewer repeat vessel procedures afterward. Deaths, paralysis, stroke, and leaks looked lower with PETTICOAT too, but the gaps were too small to rule out chance. Kidney failure ran slightly the other way, again without a clear gap. The authors conclude the added extension likely cuts repeat procedures in these hard cases.
