Cardiac tamponade: An acute pericardial effusion can occur causing cardiac tamponade if the proximal portion of the ascending aortic dissection ruptures into the pericardium. In this situation ...

A chest X-ray was unremarkable. An urgent transthoracic echocardiogram revealed normal biventricular size and systolic function without evidence of a proximal aortic dissection flap, aortic ...

STABLE II clinical trial on endovascular treatment of acute, complicated type B aortic dissection with a composite device design [published online August 30, 2019]. J Vasc Surg. 4. Lombardi JV, ...

The location of the aortic dissection was provided in 71 of the 85 cases. Over half (55%; 47/85) of the dissections occurred in the proximal aorta and 23% (20/85) in the distal aorta. In three cases, ...

Pain may also be felt in the chest and arms. An aortic dissection is a life-threatening condition that develops when there is a split in one or more layers of the aortic artery wall, which can be ...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence and durability of additional proximal cuffs during endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR). A retrospective review of 90 EVAR ...

After aortic dissection, patients are prone to develop late aneurysmal degeneration of the thoracic, abdominal, or entire thoracoabdominal aorta. Among patients with type B aortic dissection (TBAD), > ...

Spiral computed tomography (CT) was performed to rule out aortic dissection, but showed an intimal flap that seperated the aortic lumen into two parts, extending from the proximal descending aorta to ...

A CT provides valuable information about your aorta, such as the location and size of an aneurysm or dissection. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), is another ...

Both the proximal and distal endograft components ... conjunction with the Zenith TX2 covered stent in the setting of aortic dissection (see fig 9). This bare stent component is constructed ...

The fatal complication of an ascending aortic aneurysm is rupture and/or aortic dissection ... Echocardiography can visualized the proximal portion of the aorta, however not the aortic arch ...

the aortic root was addressed based on the extent of aortic dissection involvement. Once the 4-branch prosthetic graft was anastomosed to the proximal ascending aorta, a perfusion tube was inserted ...
