Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2011 ObjectiveThe risk of acute type B aortic dissection is thought to increase with descending thoracic aortic diameter. Currently, elective repair of the descending thoracic aorta is indicated for an aortic diameter of 5.5 cm or greater.

Tom Gregory always considered himself relatively healthy despite the fact that he had been diagnosed as having hypertension and told that he had had a heart attack a few years ago. He hadn't spent time in the hospital, so how bad could it have been, he thought. When I first met him, however, that had changed.

Subtypes of acute aortic dissection
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1999This series consists of a 12-year experience with a policy of identifying and replacing the aortic segment containing the primary intimal tear for repair of acute aortic dissection.Patients with type A dissection underwent urgent surgery. Patients with type B dissection were referred for surgery based on selective criteria, including aortic dilatation ...

Acute Aortic Dissection in China
The American Journal of Cardiology, 2012The clinical profiles and outcomes of acute aortic dissection (AAD) have not been evaluated in China. We retrospectively analyzed, from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2011, the data from 1,812 patients (mean age 51.1 ± 10.9 years; 77.5% men) with AAD (726 with type A and 1,086 with type B) from 19 large hospitals.

The sometimes confusing picture of aortic dissection can be understood best if one relates the symptoms and signs either to the dissection itself or to the consequent occlusion of arteries arising from the aorta. Mortality is high, particularly when the dissection involves the ascending aorta.

Management of Acute Aortic Dissection
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1975The therapy for acute dissecting aneurysm of the aorta remains a difficult problem for thoracic surgeons. Because of an excessive operative mortality in patients with acute dissection who were operated on within 24 hours of hospital admission, we have utilized intensive medical management to delay surgical intervention.

Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 1999
The treatment of patients with acute aortic dissection must begin as soon as the diagnosis is first suspected. Aggressive measures to lower the systemic blood pressure and its rate of increase (dP/dt), usually with intravenous beta-blockade in combination with sodium nitroprusside, should be instituted immediately, even before confirmatory imaging ...

Acute and Chronic Aortic Dissection
Heart Disease, 2002Each year acute aortic dissection is diagnosed in 2,000 individuals in the United States. Acute aortic dissection is no longer a catastrophic event because this problem can be rapidly diagnosed with current medical technology, and therefore promptly treated with medication and surgery. Consequently, patients with aortic dissection can survive for 10 to

Acute postpartum aortic dissection
International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics, 2008A previously healthy 22-year-old woman presented with sudden circulatory collapse in the department of obstetrics 5 days after delivering a healthy male neonate weighing 3515 g. The woman's pregnancy had been uneventful and she'd had a normal vaginal delivery without surgical procedures; the second stage of labor had not been prolonged. On presentation

Acute aortic dissection is initiated by an intimal tear most often found in the ascending or descending thoracic aorta. A high index of suspicion is necessary to establish diagnosis. In the acute setting, transoesophageal echocardiography is very helpful to confirm the diagnosis, locate the intimal tear and demonstrate the extent of dissection.
