Conservatively treated Type B intramural hematoma: Progression into acute aortic dissection followed by spontaneous resolution, assessed by CT
نویسندگان
چکیده
This case report shows the full spectrum evolution of type B intramural hematoma under conservative treatment, with initial progression into a true aortic dissection, followed by extremely rare near-complete healing of the dissection at followup.

Aortic intramural hematoma: from observation to therapeutic strategies.
Noninvasive diagnostic imaging procedures, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT) and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) (1–5), have allowed the detection of aortic abnormalities with an extremely high morphologic image resolution and quality. The availability of one of these imaging modalities allows the use at a lower threshold of clinical likelihood, which lea...
متن کاملLong-term prognosis of patients with type B aortic intramural hematoma.
BACKGROUND The long-term clinical course of patients with type B aortic intramural hematoma (IMH) and predictors for progression remains unknown. The difference of aortic pathology may have a different impact on clinical course compared with classic aortic dissection (AD). The purpose of this study was to investigate long-term clinical course and predictors of progression in patients with type ...
متن کاملChylothorax following endovascular aortic repair with subclavian revascularization – a case report
BACKGROUND Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is becoming increasingly popular due to reduced perioperative morbidity and mortality compared with open surgical repair. However, complications can occur when the left subclavian artery is involved. When performing TEVAR with left carotid-subclavian artery bypass the stent graft will extend to the left common carotid artery. We herein pres...
متن کاملPrediction of progression or regression of type A aortic intramural hematoma by computed tomography.
BACKGROUND It has been reported that early surgery should be required for patients with type A aortic intramural hematoma (IMH) because it tends to develop classic aortic dissection or rupture. However, the anatomic features of type A IMH that develops dissection or rupture are unknown. The purpose of this study was to investigate the predictors of progression or regression of type A IMH by com...

BACKGROUND Intramural hematoma of the aorta (IMH), a variant of classic aortic dissection, shows very dynamic process in the early phase. The aim of this study is to evaluate clinical outcomes of patients with acute aortic IMH from real world registry data. METHODS We analyzed 165 consecutive patients with acute IMH from five medical centers in Korea. All patients were divided into two groups...
