Increased branch vessel involvement or a large maximal false lumen area at baseline should be used, say the authors, to identify candidates for early surgical therapy or stent–graft treatment.

The outcomes of patients with type B acute aortic dissections (those confined to the descending aorta) differ depending on the diameter of the aorta and the patency of the false lumen—patients ...

The dissection extended into the SMA, with a thrombosed false lumen causing compression of the true lumen (Figure 1). The left renal artery was occluded, whereas a patent right renal artery showed ...

The following is a summary of “Exploring hemodynamic mechanisms and re-intervention strategies for partial false lumen thrombosis in Stanford type B aortic dissection after thoracic aortic ...
