d-Dimer With the Aortic Dissection Detection Risk Score May Improve Patient Selection for Acute Aortic Syndrome Diagnostic Imaging. [PDF]

Emerg Med Australas
ABSTRACT Objective Acute aortic syndrome (AAS) refers to a group of life‐threatening cardiovascular emergencies that require computerised tomographic aortography (CTA) for definitive diagnosis. However, there is currently no validated risk‐stratification tool for AAS in low or intermediate risk patients using the aortic dissection detection risk score (

Iatrogenic Aortocoronary Dissection During Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

JACC: Case Reports, 2021
We present a case of iatrogenic aortocoronary dissection sustained during routine percutaneous coronary intervention for stable angina. Careful wiring of the true lumen and stent implantation to seal off the dissection flap prevented immediate ...

A Novel Tool for Distinguishing Type A Acute Aortic Syndrome from Heart Failure and Acute Coronary Syndrome

Diagnostics, 2023
Type A acute aortic syndrome (urgent AAS, UAAS) has a low incidence and high mortality rate; however, it is often missed or diagnosed late. Our aim was to create a new tool for distinguishing UAAS by using multiple modalities to select patients for CT ...

Measuring of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm with Three-Dimensional Computed Tomography Reconstruction before Endovascular Aortic Aneurysm Repair

Vascular Specialist International, 2017
Purpose: Conventional computed tomography (CT) is the gold standard method for case planning for endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR). However, aortography with a marking catheter is needed for measuring the actual length of an aneurysm.

Cardiac arrest caused by coronary occlusion during transcatheter aortic valve implantation: a unique cause

ESC Heart Failure, 2023
Coronary artery occlusion (CAO) is a rare but life‐threatening complication of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). The mechanism of CAO is the displacement of the native calcified valve leaflet over the coronary ostium.
