The misnomer of uncomplicated type B aortic dissection

Journal of Cardiac Surgery, 2022
Abstract Background Acute type B aortic dissection (TBAD) is a rare condition that can be divided into complicated (CoTBAD) and uncomplicated (UnCoTBAD) based on certain presenting clinical and radiological features, with UnCoTBAD constituting the majority of TBAD cases.

Aortic Size at the Time of Type A and Type B Dissections

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2023
Aortic diameter at time of dissection remains an indispensable risk-determining characteristic for prophylactic repair of thoracic aortic aneurysms. Histograms of aortic size at the time of dissection have the potential to shed more light on this relationship.Size of the thoracic aorta at the time of dissection was determined from imaging of 407 ...

Endovascular Treatment of type B Aortic Dissections

Cardiovascular Surgery, 2001
The purpose is to describe our experience with endovascular treatment of type B aortic dissections. Five patients were treated for complications following type B dissections like, false channel aneurysm formation, rupture and arterial obstruction. They were treated in general anaesthesia using a ‘homemade’ endoprosthesis or a commercially available ...

Endovascular Therapies for Type B Aortic Dissection

Cardiovascular & Hematological Disorders-Drug Targets, 2021
:Aortic dissection is a life-threatening condition resulting from a tear in the intimal layer of the aorta, requiring emergent diagnosis and prompt multi-disciplinary management strategy for best patient outcomes. While type A dissection involving ascending aorta is best managed surgically due to high early mortality, Type B Aortic Dissection (TBAD ...

Aortic Expansion After Acute Type B Aortic Dissection

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2012
A considerable number of patients with acute type B aortic dissection (ABAD) treated with medical management alone will exhibit aortic enlargement during follow-up, which could lead to aortic aneurysm and rupture. The purpose of this study was to investigate predictors of aortic expansion among ABAD patients enrolled in the International Registry of ...

Descending aortic diameter of 5.5 cm or greater is not an accurate predictor of acute type B aortic dissection [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2011
ObjectiveThe risk of acute type B aortic dissection is thought to increase with descending thoracic aortic diameter. Currently, elective repair of the descending thoracic aorta is indicated for an aortic diameter of 5.5 cm or greater.
