Aortic dissection type A has a great mortality in its acute phase with low annual survival without surgical treatment. Although the chronic cases are exceptions the late complications exist and should be treated.Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular SurgeryDorsa Vieira Pontes, ...
We describe the case of a 61-year-old male with a giant aortic root aneurysm associated with chronic aortic Type A dissection. The patient had been operated on 16 years before due to aortic annuloectasia with mechanical valve replacement. The patient underwent revision aortic surgery with a Ben...
We identified all adult type A aortic dissection patients who underwent operative repair in the Maryland Health Services Cost Review Commission's database (2012–2020). Hospitals were stratified into high- (top quartile of total repairs) or low-volume centers.Results: Of the 249 patients included...
Acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) constitutes a life-threatening aortic pathology with significant morbidity and mortality. Without surgical intervention the usual mortality rate averages between 1 and 2% per hour. Thus, an early diagnosis of ATAAD
Figure 2. Increasing Incidence of Aortic Aneurysm and Dissection Over a 15-Year PeriodReproduced, with permission, from Olsson et al. (1). Are We Diagnosing and Treating All Patients? Acute type A aortic dissection has a plethora of presentations that generate diagnostic uncertainty. Although chest...
The treatment of patients with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (RAAA) poses a significant surgical challenge. To achieve improvement in survival, factors influencing case fatality must be identified and modified. The aim of the present survey was to determine the contribution of preoperative, perioper...
The first case of a patient with dissecting aortic aneurysm and pheochromocytoma was reported in 1975 by Triplett and Atuk,22 and Azizi et al. reported a case of concomitant type A dissection and pheochromocytoma.22 Cases have been reported of pheochromocytoma associated with dissecting aneurysm of...
(mean ± standard deviation age 48 ± 11.3 versus 61.4 ± 12.3 years, respectively,P= .004). A greater proportion of the THC cohort had a known diagnosis of aortic aneurysm before the dissection (44.4% versus 4.8%,P= .006). All patients underwent expeditious surgical repair. Thirty-day ...
