it is a relatively benign disease compared to Type A dissection. The vast majority of patients do well with medical management alone, unless the dissection takes a complicated course. In our published experience of one hundred consecutive patients with acute Type B dissections, we found that the...
Endovascular versus conventional medical treatment for uncomplicated chronic type B aortic dissection BACKGROUND: Aortic dissection is a potentially life-threatening condition that occurs when a tear forms in the inner lining of the aorta. It has traditiona... P Ulug,JE Mccaslin,G Stansby,... -...
PURPOSE: It is now more than a decade since aortic stent-grafts were introduced clinically to provide a less invasive and potentially less harmful therapeutic option to treat type B aortic dissections. However, recent publications on best medical treatment and quality of life in patients with chron...
Recently, the development of endovas-cular therapy offers additional opportunity in the treatment of type B dissection as potential alternative to medical therapy and open surgical repair. The rationale of endovascular treatment of aortic dissection was originally based on evidence in the literature of ...
The actual rate of freedom from aortic events at 1- and 5- years was 83.0 ± 7.0% and 58.7 ± 11.4%. Conclusions: Emergency surgery for complicated acute type B dissection still has a high mortality rate for patients with open rupture and critical visceral ischemia. Medical treatment is ...
Stanford type B dissections are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. During the last 10 years, the incidence of acute myocardial infarction and stroke has decreased nationally. This study evaluated the incidence, treatment, and outcome trends for patients admitted to South Carolina ...
Acute type B aortic dissection comprises approximately one-third of all aortic dissection cases. Although this catastrophic cardiovascular condition was first described in the medical literature over two centuries ago, data on the optimal diagnostic and treatment modalities for type B dissection was slow...
"There has been an explosion of information in the form of research reports of varying quality regarding thetreatmentof type B dissection over the past decade," said author G. Chad Hughes, MD, from Duke University Medical Center in Durham, North Carolina. "This guideline is unique in providin...
