The natural history of Type B dissections has been difficult to delineate. Despite significant progress in diagnosing and treating patients with Type B dissection, the mortality and morbidity levels are still substantial. Invaluable information on descending aortic dissection has been derived from the In...

The natural history of patients with Marfan syndrome includes the development of chronic aortic regurgitation with aortic root dissection and rupture; these constitute the primary causes of their reduced life expectancy.66 These patients may also develop dissection involving the entire length of the aorta...
The primary causes of acute aortic regurgitation (AR) are infective endocarditis and dissection of the ascending aorta; chronic AR in adults is most often caused by degeneration of the aortic valve or root. Acute AR causes symptoms of heart failure and cardiogenic shock, but signs of AR may be...
The aorta can be affected by either chronic or acute conditions, with aneurysms and atherosclerosis being the most common chronic conditions, while acute conditions include aortic dissection, aortic ulcer, and aortic hematomas [1]. Aneurysm is defined as the segmental dilation of a vessel, involving...
Risk factors for abdominal aortic aneurysm are diverse and include atherosclerosis (most common), smoking, advanced age, male gender, White race, family history of abdominal aortic aneurysm, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and prior history of aortic dissection. This activity adds comprehensive ...
the dissection is extended to the pericardium, creating a small pericardiotomy. An index finger is then used to examine the aorta and feel the aortic root to ensure proper alignment for optimal visualization of the aortic valve. Pericardial stay sutures are placed in a rectangular pattern around...
Certainly extension of aneurysmal disease to a juxtarenal level, requiring suprarenal clamping for repair, is associated with increased morbidity and mortality due to the more extensive and complex dissection necessary, obligatory renal ischemia time, and increased hemodynamic stresses secondary to more ...

Type of aneurysm that dissects; although aneurysms rarely dissect, a dissection may lead to aneurysmal changes over time. Arterial dilation less than 50% of expected normal diameter. Type of aneurysm that involves a disruption of the arterial wall with containment by surrounding tissue orhematoma....
