With a 5-MH probe, a dissecting membrane and an adherent thrombus of the aortic arch could be visualized, resulting in variable obstruction of the innominate artery. In the left CCA, we saw a typical dissection with thrombosis of the false lumen. Simultaneous chest CT and MRA confirmed our ...
Aortic Dissection Definition Aortic dissection is a rare, but potentially fatal, condition in which blood passes through the inner lining and between the layers of the aorta. The dissecting aorta usually does not burst, but has an abnormal second channel within it. Description A defect in the in...
Comparison of two surgical approaches for acute type A aortic dissection: hybrid debranching versus total arch replacement Hybrid debranching operationis a safe and effective method for acute type A aortic dissection. Compared with TAR surgery, hybrid debranching surgery has th... F Huang,X Li,Z ...
3-Hydroxybutyrate, a key constituent of ketone bodies, has been found to favor improvements in cardiovascular disease. However, whether the protective effect of diabetes on aortic dissection is mediated by 3-hydroxybutyrate is unclear. We aimed to investigate the causal effects of diabetes on the ...
Surgical management of chronic aortic dissection is controversial, especially when the dissection extends into the abdominal aorta in which the visceral arteries originate from different lumens and is combined with aortic arch pathology necessitating surgery. The aim of the study was to evaluate the resu...
To address this late aortic risk, the performance of a total arch replacement at the time of acute dissection repair was proposed. The theory was that this additional aortic replacement would decrease the patency of the false lumen with its late aortic complications (1-3). ...
Hemopericardium, acute severeaortic regurgitation, coronary malperfusion, and aortic arch branch vessel malperfusion associated withaortic dissectionare surgical emergencies. Cardiac tamponade often follows aortic rupture into thepericardiumand is a common cause of death in acute ascending aortic dissection, ...
An 81-year-old woman presented with shortness of breath and fever of 3 days duration. An enhanced CT of the chest revealed a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) communicating with the true lumen of an aortic arch dissection. Neither the aortic dissection nor the PDA was suspected. The patient ha...
To assess aortic arch morphology and aortic length in patients with dissection, traumatic injury, and aneurysm undergoing TEVAR, and to identify characteristics specific to different pathologies.This was a retrospective analysis of the aortic arch morphology and aortic length of dissection, traumatic ...
At surgery, we found the patient to have aortic arch dissection with complete separation of the right coronary artery from the sinus of Valsalva and a false lumen that had ruptured into the right atrium. The aortic arch was repaired directly. The ascending aorta was successfully replaced with a...
