Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm and Dissection

American Journal of Forensic Medicine & Pathology, 2023
Abstract Aortic dissection and rupture (collectively termed “sudden aortic death”) are commonly encountered by forensic pathologists, with an estimated incidence at autopsy between 0.6% and 7.7%. Despite this, there is no standard of practice for the evaluation of sudden aortic death at autopsy.

Biomarkers in descending thoracic aortic dissection

Seminars in Vascular Surgery, 2014
The clinical application of serum biomarkers (d-dimer, C-reactive protein) to predict the natural history of descending thoracic aortic dissection remains elusive. In this review, our current understanding of biomarkers in descending thoracic aortic dissection detection, predicting complications, and aiding in patient management is discussed.

Roentgenographic Findings in Thoracic Aortic Dissection

Mayo Clinic Proceedings, 1979
Review of 91 confirmed cases of thoracic aortic dissection revealed that the findings on the plain films of the chest often were suggestive of the diagnosis, with abnormalities in the aortic countour, especially when comparison was made with previous roentgenograms.

Acute thoracic aortic dissection: The basics

The Journal of Emergency Medicine, 1997
With an increasing incidence, aortic dissection is the most common acute illness of the aorta. In the setting of chronic hypertension, with or without other risk factors for aortic dissection, this diagnosis should be considered a diagnostic possibility in patients presenting to the emergency department with acute chest or back pain.

Resident's knowledge on thoracic aortic dissection

Postgraduate Medical Journal, 2008
Cases of thoracic aortic dissection (TAD) are likely to increase in India as longevity increases. According to Olsson et al ,1 the incidence of thoracic aortic disease is 16.3 and 9.1 per 100 000/year for men and women, respectively. The Government General Hospital, Chennai, India, where the study was carried out, has over 2800 beds and an in-patient ...

Familial Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms and Dissections

Journal of Forensic Sciences, 1998
Abstract Rupture of thoracic aortic aneurysms and/or dissections is not rare, occurring in approximately 0.6% of all medicolegal autopsies. Most forensic pathologists are aware of the association between thoracic aortic aneurysms/dissections and trauma, atherosclerosis, inflammation and Marfan syndrome.

CT findings in thoracic aortic dissection

American Journal of Roentgenology, 1981
Computed tomography (CT) findings in 11 cases of aortic dissection were correlated with aortographic, surgical, or postmortem findings. In another two patients, the CT findings were considered diagnostic of aortic dissection but no further workup was performed. All the CT examinations were made before and after bolus injection of contrast.

Abdominal Aortic Resection in Thoracic Dissection

Archives of Surgery, 1976
Dissection nearly always begins in the thorax, but it commonly extends into the abdominal aorta, which may become the focal point of the disease. We report five patients who illustrate the surgical management of this disease variant. Clinical manifestations included retroperitoneal rupture, expanding false aneurysm, and lower aortic occlusion.

Downregulation of FHL1 Expression in Thoracic Aortic Dissection: Implications in Aortic Wall Remodeling and Pathogenesis of Thoracic Aortic Dissection

Annals of Vascular Surgery, 2011
To investigate the potential role of four and a half Lin-11, Isl-1, and Mec-3 (FHL1) protein in the pathogenesis of thoracic aortic dissection (TAD).The expression levels and localization of FHL1 protein in aortic tissue of TAD were analyzed using Western blot and immunohistochemistry.

Genetic basis of thoracic aortic aneurysms and aortic dissections

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, 2005
AbstractAscending thoracic aortic aneurysms leading to type A dissections (TAAD) can occur in association with a genetic syndrome, such as Marfan syndrome (MFS), or as an autosomal dominant disorder in the absence of syndromic features, termed familial TAAD.
