Abstract

Recently, intramural hematoma (IMH) has been characterized as a rare variant of aortic dissection, falling within the acute aortic syndromes (AAS). Although aortic endovascular treatment seems to provide good results, no consensus has been established regarding the optimal management of IMH affecting the descending thoracic aorta (IMH B). The aim of this study was to assess long-term clinical and morphological results of IMH B treated with a stent graft. Between 2002 and 2013, 15 of the 423 (3.5%) consecutive patients with AAS were found to have IMH B. During follow-up, complications related to IMH B were observed in 10 patients, including 5 during the acute period (<14 days). Surgical indications were ulcerations, refractory pain, aneurysm evolution, aortic rupture, and pleural effusion. An endovascular approach was taken for all forms with suitable anatomy. Technical success rate was 100%, with complete exclusion of lesions of the descending thoracic aorta in all cases treated with a stent graft. No neurological complications or deaths occurred within the first 30 postoperative days, nor at the end of the mean follow-up of 46 months (1-137 months). After the aortic stent graft, partial or complete regression of the hematoma w...Continue Reading

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.

Aneurysms are outward distensions or bulges that occurs in a weakened wall of blood vessels. Discover the latest research on aneurysms here.

Antihypertensive Agents: Mechanisms of Action

Antihypertensive drugs are used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) which aims to prevent the complications of high blood pressure, such as stroke and myocardial infarction. Discover the latest research on antihypertensive drugs and their mechanism of action here.
