Early and Late Mortality Predictors in Patients with Acute Aortic Dissection Type B
Background/Aim. Despite technological advances in diagnosis and treatment, in-hospital mortality with acute aortic dissection type B is still about 11%. The purpose of this study was to assess the risk factors for early and long-term adverse outcomes in ...

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

Aortic Pathology Determines Midterm Outcome After Endovascular Repair of the Thoracic Aorta Report From the Medtronic Thoracic Endovascular Registry (MOTHER) Database [PDF]
Background—Endovascular repair of the thoracic aorta has become an increasingly utilized therapy. Although the short-term mortality advantage over open surgery is well documented, late mortality and the impact of presenting pathology on long-term ...

Use of Anti-Thrombotic Drugs and In-Hospital Mortality in Acute Aortic Dissection Patients
Acute aortic dissection occurs due to a primary tear in the aortic intima, with blood from the aortic lumen entering the adjacent diseased media. In the clinical setting, practitioners often hesitate before the use of anti-thrombotic drugs in the acute ...

Mathematical modeling of thrombus formation in idealized models of aortic dissection: Initial findings and potential applications [PDF]
Aortic dissection is a major aortic catastrophe with a high morbidity and mortality risk caused by the formation of a tear in the aortic wall. The development of a second blood filled region defined as the “false lumen” causes highly disturbed flow ...
