particularly those that involve the visceral segment or with retrograde arch involvement. [Figure 9] gives a
summary of the treatment modalities for different situations potentially encountered with CTBAD. Patients
should continue to have serial imaging even after repair of CTBAD to monitor for post-repair
complications and development of metachronous pathology.
