Natural History and Therapeutic Management of Acute Aortic Syndrome
نویسنده
چکیده
Rev Esp Cardiol 2004;57(7):667-79 667 Acute aortic syndrome, an acute lesion of the aortic wall involving the media, comprises aortic dissection, intramural hematoma and penetrating ulcer. Recent advances in imaging techniques have helped us to understand the natural history and dynamics of this medical condition. Despite considerable advances in surgical treatment, the current high mortality rate in the acute phase can still be reduced by early clinical suspicion and improved surgical expertise. The advent and incorporation of endovascular treatment has opened up new perspectives in the management of this disease, and may improve the long-term prognosis. This article aims to review our current understanding of the natural history and therapeutic management of acute aortic syndrome.

Acute aortic syndrome is an acute lesion of the aortic wall involving the aortic media. The term covers aortic dissection, intramural hematoma, and penetrating ulcer. In the last few years, imaging techniques have increased our understanding of the natural history of these disease entities and of the dynamics of the disease processes. Despite significant advances in diagnosis and surgical treat...

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in most Western societies and is increasing steadily in many developing countries. Aortic diseases constitute an emerging share of the burden. New diagnostic imaging modalities, longer life expectancy in general, longer exposure to elevated blood pressure, and the proliferation of modern noninvasive imaging modalities have all contributed to ...
