Chronic β-blocker therapy improves outcome and reduces treatment costs in chronic type B aortic dissection

TL;DR: A substantial proportion of patients with chronic type B dissection who receive initial medical management will later need surgery, and long-term treatment with β-blockers reduces the progression of aortic dilatation, the incidence of subsequent hospital admissions, as well as the incidenceof late dissection-related aortIC procedures and the cost of treatment.
