Computed Tomography Imaging Features in Acute Uncomplicated Stanford Type-B Aortic Dissection Predict Late Adverse Events.
BACKGROUND Medical treatment of initially uncomplicated acute Stanford type-B aortic dissection is associated with a high rate of late adverse events. Identification of individuals who potentially benefit from preventive endografting is highly desirable. METHODS AND RESULTS The association of computed tomography imaging features with late adverse events was retrospectively assessed in 83 pati...
متن کاملUncomplicated Acute Type B Aortic Dissection: Selection Guidelines for TEVAR
Traditionally, the surgical management of acute type B aortic dissections was reserved for patients with signs of malperfusion, rapid expansion, retrograde dissection or rupture. The adjunct of endovascular techniques has brought a paradigm shift, leaning towards preventing long term dissection complications. Multiple risk factors have been proposed to identify patients at risk for long term ao...
متن کاملAdmission white blood cell count predicts short-term clinical outcomes in patients with uncomplicated Stanford type B acute aortic dissection
OBJECTIVES Inflammation has been shown to be related with acute aortic dissection (AAD). The present study aimed to evaluate the association of white blood cell counts (WBCc) on admission with both in-hospital and long-term all-cause mortality in patients with uncomplicated Stanford type B AAD. METHODS From 2008 to 2010, a total of 377 consecutive patients with uncomplicated type B AAD were e...

This report provides a rare histological example and the appropriate management of spontaneous aortic dissection secondary to giant cell arteritis.
متن کاملStanford type B aortic dissection in an elderly patient with silent aortic coarctation
Although uncomplicated type B dissection is well established to be treated conservatively, adult aortic coarctation is still considered a surgical candidate in the presence of peak-to-peak coarctation gradient >20 mmHg. The treatment for aortic coarctation included surgical repair, balloon angioplasty, and stenting [17]. While balloon angioplasty is the preferred treatment for discrete coarctat...
