Epidemiology of thoracic aortic dissection
Nature Reviews Cardiology, 2010Thoracic aortic dissection (TAD) is estimated to occur at a rate of 3-4 cases per 100,000 persons per year and is associated with a high mortality. Reported rates are probably underestimates of the true incidence of TAD because of difficulties in diagnosis. The incidence of TAD appears to have been increasing over time.

Imaging of thoracic aortic dissection
Australasian Radiology, 1994SUMMARYAcute thoracic aortic dissection has a high mortality if untreated, so the diagnosis must be rapidly made if mortality is to be lowered significantly. Multiple imaging techniques are often used. This retrospective study from 1988 to 1993 assesses the usefulness in diagnosis of chest X‐rays, computed tomography (CT) scanning, aortography ...

Dissecting Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms
Archives of Surgery, 1972In 16 years, 33 operations were performed on 32 patients out of a total of 55 with dissecting thoracic aneurysms. The overall mortality was 64%. This was much higher (88%) for type 1 cases (tear near the aortic valve and dissection extending beyond the descending aorta) than for type 2 (tear and dissection confined to ascending aorta) or for type 3 ...

Heritable Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms and Dissections
Techniques in Vascular and Interventional Radiology, 2021A large portion of thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections (TAAD) have a genetic etiology. In recent decades, numerous genes have been identified as associated with heritable thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections (HTAAD), providing important insights into the underlying molecular mechanisms of both conditions.

Dimensions of Critical Care Nursing, 1991
The patient who is admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) with an acute thoracic aortic dissection represents a nursing emergency. Through astute nursing actions, most complications can be prevented for those patients who have aortic wall injury due to trauma or medical conditions.

Aortic Arch Interruption With Thoracic Aortic Dissection
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2011FE A T U R E A R T IC LE S A37-year-old man presented with a 2-week history of tearing chest and back pain. He was asymptomatic until 25 years of age. After that he had worsening symptoms develop, including headache, dizziness, blurred vision, and feet weakness. On examination, there was a bounding carotid pulse in his right neck.

Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm and Dissection
American Journal of Forensic Medicine & Pathology, 2023Abstract 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.

Thoracic aortic dissection is a critical cardiovascular emergency characterized by the separation of the aortic intima and media layers. With an annual incidence of 2.5 to 3.5 per 100,000 individuals, it is more prevalent in men aged 62 to 67. Chronic hypertension serves as the most significant risk factor, alongside genetic disorders like Marfan ...

Biomarkers in descending thoracic aortic dissection
Seminars in Vascular Surgery, 2014The 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.
