Owing to worsening hypotonia and recurrent chest pain, a thoracic computed tomography (CT scan) was performed and subsequently revealed aortic dissection within the ascending segment with bleeding into the pericardial sac. The results of previously ordered laboratory tests, including the DD assay, ...
Consecutive patients with aortic dissection and a chest CT scan were identified, and 120 CT scans corresponding to 105 patients were reviewed for a variety of imaging features. Statistical tests assessed for differences in the frequency of these features. A predictive model was created and tested ...
Traumatic Forms of Aortic Dissection Traumatic Aortic Injury Although the majority of traumaticaortic injuriesare diagnosed by CT, the advantages of TEE for diagnosing traumaticaortic injuryare multiple: it is portable; can be performed at the bedside or in the operating room; can provide an immediat...
TEE is strongly dependent on operator experience MRI: The most sensitive method for diagnosing aortic dissection Specificity is similar to that of CT [3] Aortography: Has been the diagnostic criterion standard study for aortic dissection Is being replaced by newer, safer imaging modalities ...
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...
CT显示围绕假腔的壁钙化(箭头),提示慢性过程。 Fig. 6: Patient with a chronic dissectioninthe ascending aorta. CT demonstrated wall calcificationssurroudingthe false lumen (arrows), indicative of a chronic process. 升主动脉的右...
Background Acute aortic dissection (AAD) is a life-threatening condition requiring immediate assessment and therapy. A patient suffering from AAD often presents with an insignificant or irrelevant medical history, giving rise to possible misdiagnosis. The aim of this retrospective study is to address ...
Pain: The onset of acute aortic dissection is sudden, and greater than 90% of patients experience sudden severe tearing or knife like pain in the anterior chest, back or the abdomen, and the pain can be transferred along the aorta towards the upper or lower abdomen. Sudden Death: When the...
Objective:To investigate the follow-up value of multislice spiral CT(MSCT)in patients with aortic dissection(AD)after endovascular exclusion(EVE).Methods:There were 30 AD patients who underwent EVE were examined by MSCT scan pre-and post-operation,the image were compared in order to analyze the...
1D). In contrast, Case 2–3 demonstrated pulmonary infiltrates on the CT scan (Fig. 1A). However, preoperative RT-PCRs at arrival were both negative. DISCUSSION This study represents the first investigation describing the management and outcomes of type A aortic dissection during the pandemic. ...
