CT angiography, especially with widely-used multislice CT imaging technique, is the method of choice for diagnosis of aortic dissection. This article presents the additional value of 3D visualisation, using virtual intravascular endoscopy, for assessment of aortic dissection when compared to conventional...
In an attempt to better define criteria for the diagnosis of atherosclerotic aneurysm (AA) and aortic dissection (AD) using CT the scans of 60 documented aortic lesions were reviewed. Hyperdensity of the aortic wall at multiple levels was found to be specific for AD. Central displacement of at...

TBAD, Type B aortic dissection. Standard protocol Patients with a confirmed acute TBAD were immediately admitted and monitored in the intensive care unit (ICU). First-line blood pressure control was achieved by titrating a beta blocker intravenously. Target systolic blood pressure was <120 mm Hg...
Median interval between pre-dissection imaging and subsequent AoD was 1.4 years (IQR: 0.5 to 2.7 years). Echocardiography was the predominant modality used (18 of 30 patients); CT (n = 10) and MRI (n = 2) were less commonly used. Imaging strategies were similar among patients with and ...

Objective To explore the clinical applicable of multi-slice spiral CT angiography (MSCTA)in the diagnosis of acute aortic dissection (AD)so as to improve early diagnosis. Methods The 16-slice spiral CT angiography(16SCTA)imaging data of 52 patients with AD were retrospectively reviewed. Results Ac...

Hence, we use this protocol routinely for follow-up of aortic dissections treated with embolization. The limitations of this study are its retrospective nature, the small number of patients and the limited midterm follow-up. A larger cohort with a longer follow-up is needed to confirm the ...
