Acute type B aortic dissection in the absence of aortic dilatation [PDF]

Journal of Vascular Surgery, 2012
Increasing aortic diameter is thought to be an important risk factor for acute type B aortic dissection (ABAD). However, some patients develop ABAD in the absence of aortic dilatation. In this report, we sought to characterize ABAD patients who presented with a descending thoracic aortic diameter

Management of acute type B aortic dissection [PDF]

The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2013
Acute type B aortic dissection (identified within 2 weeks of symptom onset), as described using the Stanford classification, involves the aorta distal to the left subclavian artery and accounts for 25%-40% of all aortic dissections. The traditional treatment paradigm of medical management for uncomplicated acute type B dissection and open surgical ...

New type A dissection after acute type B aortic dissection [PDF]

Journal of Vascular Surgery, 2018
Aortic dissection is a dynamic process that can progress both proximal and distal to the initial entry tear. We sought to determine associations for development of proximal progression or new type A aortic dissection (NTAD) after acute type B dissection (ATBD) and its effect on survival of the patient.We reviewed all cases of acute aortic dissection ...

Predictors of complications in acute type B aortic dissection [PDF]

European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2002
OBJECTIVES Medical treatment is generally advocated for patients with acute type B aortic dissection without complications. The objective of this retrospective analysis was to determine whether there are any initial findings that can help predict the long-term course of the disease.

Aortic diameter >or = 5.5 cm is not a good predictor of type A aortic dissection: observations from the International Registry of Acute Aortic Dissection (IRAD).

, 2007
BACKGROUND: Studies of aortic aneurysm patients have shown that the risk of rupture increases with aortic size. However, few studies of acute aortic dissection patients and aortic size exist.
