Abstract

Controversy remains regarding management of acute type A dissection with intramural hematoma (IMH). Our purpose was to analyze our experience and report outcomes after repair of acute type A aortic dissection with IMH. We analyzed all patients from a single center who underwent open repair for acute type A aortic dissection with IMH. Between 2000 and 2013, we performed 418 repairs for acute type A aortic dissection. These were divided into 2 groups of patients: 64 patients (15%) with type A IMH and 354 patients (85%) with typical dissection. Those with IMH were older (62.4 ± 13.9 years vs 56.7 ± 14.7 years; P < .0046) and presented with reduced renal function (ie, glomerular filtration rate) (P < .0341), less frequently with distal malperfusion, and less frequently with rupture (P < .0116). With IMH, the time from presentation to repair was, by strategy, longer (median, 67 vs 6 hours; P < .0001), but no mortality occurred within 3 days of presentation. Mortality with IMH did not differ from typical dissection: 7 out of 64 patients (10.9%) versus 52 out of 354 patients (14.7%; P = .4276). A lower incidence of postoperative dialysis in the IMH group approached significance: 6 out of 63 patients (9.5%) versus 64 out of 347 patient...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.

Cardiac Aneurysm

Aneurysm refers to a bulge of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum or within the aorta. In the heart, it usually arises from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. Discover the latest research on cardiac aneurysm here.
