Objective:
The objective of this study is to investigate and address the question surrounding the determination of the optimal endograft length of coverage during TEVAR for type B aortic dissection (TBAD), with a particular emphasis on the distal landing zone (DLZ).
Data Sources:
MEDLINE, Scopus, and Web of Science databases were used.
Methods:
The PRISMA-ScR statement was followed.
Results:
Several variables can contribute to the length of coverage during TEVAR in TBAD patient. Baseline patient's characteristics, TBAD-related features, the type of endoprosthesis, and postoperative graft behaviour may contribute to the choice of coverage.
Conclusions:
No robust data have been published regarding the optimal length of TEVAR. Therefore, reporting the percentage of covered aorta and improving computational studies should be valorised to improve postoperative outcomes.

Systemic circulation is the part of the cardiovascular system that carries oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body's tissues and returns deoxygenated blood back to the heart.
