Clinical Features of Aortic Dissection

Clinical features of aortic dissection associated with Takayasu's arteritis

Takayasu’s arteritis (TA) is a chronic and nonspecific inflammatory vessel disease that involves the aorta and its major branches. TA results in stenosis, occlusion or aneurysmal degeneration of large arteries pathologically.

Clinical prediction of acute aortic dissection.

BACKGROUND Clinical criteria for aortic dissection are poorly defined. Thus, 35% of aortic dissections remain unsuspected in vivo, and 99% of suspected cases can be refuted. OBJECTIVE To identify independent predictors of acute aortic dissection and create a prediction model for facilitated estimation of the individual risk of dissection. METHODS Two hundred fifty patients with acute chest ...
