You will be in the hospital for about one to two weeks following aortic dissection repair. You will usually be in the intensive care unit (ICU) until your vital signs are stable. You will move to the regular nursing floor to continue your recovery before you go home. During your hospital ...
Eosinophil recovery timeMortalityPredictorsPrognosisType A acute aortic dissection (TA-AAD) patients are prone to life-threatening complications and death. This study aimed to analyze the association between eosinophil (EOS) recovery and clinical outcomes in TA-AAD. A total of 274 patients with TA-...
A 68-year-old man had undergone ascending aortic replacement for acute type A aortic dissection. Three months later, he had a new aortic dissection with an ulcer-like projection located in the aortic arch with suspected graft infection. An emergent redo total aortic arch and root replacement was...
system can adapt to narrow and tortuous arteries; the soft inner sheath within delivery system protects the stent graft and crosses the arch easily; tip capture mechanism ensures the accuracy and controllability of deployment; multi-taper design fits the anatomy of thoracic aortic dissection better. ...
Acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) is highly lethal and might be increasing in incidence (1). Surgery is believed to save and extend life, but despite apparent advances, diagnosis is often delayed, evidence for improving outcomes is modest (2), and optimal surgical management remains unclea...
The patient reported a previous history of chest pain three months before, although he did not seek medical assistance at the time. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) revealed a type A aortic dissection (TAAD) with the primary entry tear in the ascending aorta, which was also aneurysmal (6...
An aortic dissection is an uncommon condition where the inner tissue (tunica intima) of the aorta tears, allowing blood to enter into the tissue wall.
Ms. Hostetler:Media coverage, both locally and nationally, has brought the term “aortic dissection” into the homes of millions. We are fortunate to have individuals with large public profiles who have helped share our message widely. Equally important are our partnerships with health care organiza...
Once a BAV has been diagnosed, it is important to educate the patient about the risks related to the progression of the disease and the importance of screening first-degree relatives, especially in the presence of AAo aneurysm or dissection familial history [22]. 2. Assessment of Chronic AR ...
This excellent safety profile of all valve implatations with no cases of coronary artery occlusion, annulus rupture, aortic dissection, stroke, major bleeding, major vascular complications or procedural death is an important finding of our research. At 3 months, the 6MWT was repeated and the 6...
