Global roundtable on evidence for managing uncomplicated type B dissection:
1. Medical optimisation, how is this being achieved in practice in the trials?
2. Does device choice and timing of intervention really change outcomes?
3. What are we learning from the patients not included in the trials? Data from screening
4. How generalisable are these trials – Management of dissections and centres of expertise

The latest evidence pertaining to treatment of acute and chronic dissection
The nuances of optimal patient selection and intervention
Choosing the various endovascular techniques for treating chronic type B dissection
Approaches for the treatment of difficult cases
The results of highly anticipated research into treatment of aortic dissection
