Strengths and limitation
The primary strength of the study is that it has the highest number of
pregnant individuals with complicated TBAD, although there are five
cases. Of note, this study also has limitations. Due to the low
incidence rate of TBAD, the number of cases in the study is small and
comes from a single center. In addition, this study did not set up a
control group. Finally, the long-term effects of TEVAR were absent. To
further elucidate the role of TEVAR in complicated TBAD during
pregnancy, more cases with long follow-ups are needed.
