PARTIAL THROMBOSIS OF THE FALSE LUMEN IN PATIENTS WITH ACUTE TYPE B AORTIC DISSECTION

, 2007
BACKGROUND: Patency or thrombosis of the false lumen in type B acute aortic dissection has been found to predict outcomes. The prognostic implications of partial thrombosis of the false lumen have not yet been elucidated.
