Aortic dissection may be fatal without early diagnosis and appropriate medical, surgical, or endovascular treatment. The presenting symptoms and signs are so myriad and nonspecific that dissection may be overlooked initially in up to 40% of cases. In addition, the diagnosis is established only postmortem in a substantial number of cases.1 Few other conditions demand such prompt diagnosis and tr...
Aortic dissection is a cardiovascular event of high mortality if not early diagnosed and properly treated. In Stanford type A aortic dissection, there is the involvement of the ascending aorta, whereas in type B the ascending aorta is not affected. The treatment of type A aortic dissection is mainly surgical. The hospital mortality of type B aortic dissection surgical treatment is approximately...
OBJECTIVES We sought to evaluate the clinical characteristics, management, and outcomes of elderly patients with acute type A aortic dissection. BACKGROUND Few data exist on the clinical manifestations and outcomes of acute type A aortic dissection in an elderly patient cohort. METHODS We categorized 550 patients with type A aortic dissection enrolled in the International Registry of Acute ...
Objectives: To compare the medical treatment of chronic type B aortic dissection with b-blockers versus other antihypertensive treatments in terms of their requirement for surgical intervention and treatment costs. Methods: Case records of the 130 patients treated for aortic dissection type B in this unit between 1988 and 1997 were reviewed. Seventy-eight of 130 patients with chronic dissection...
BACKGROUND The risk of aortic complications associated with pregnancy in women with Marfan syndrome (MFS) is not fully understood. METHODS AND RESULTS MFS women participating in the large National Registry of Genetically Triggered Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms and Cardiovascular Conditions (GenTAC) were evaluated. Among 184 women with MFS in whom pregnancy information was available, 94 (51%) had ...
Aortic dissection is a relatively rare yet often fatal condition. Early recognition and treatment are crucial for survival. While the majority of patients who present with aortic dissection are older than 50 years of age and have a history of hypertension, younger patients with connective tissue disease, bicuspid aortic valves, and a family history of aortic dissection are also at an increased ...
We report a case of a type A aortic dissection with extension into the main pulmonary artery through a sinus of Valsalva fistula. Echocardiography and computed tomographic angiography of the chest were performed and bicuspid aortic valve, hemopericardium, and dilatation of the aortic root were found. A Stanford type A dissection was seen, extending to the distal transverse thoracic aorta, and t...
