Although a tear-oriented strategy has contributed to improving short-term surgical outcomes of acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD), long-term clinical influences of residual entry tear in the downstream aorta have not been fully investigated. The goal of this study was to assess the long-term surgical outcomes of ATAAD with or without a residual...

Acute thoracic aortic dissection and rupture (TADR) has an incidence of 5-7 per 100 000-person years. Today, most children with congenital heart disease (CHD) survive to become adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD). This study evaluates TADR in patients with ACHD in a large, hospitalized patient population over 11 years to evaluate the incide...

In this article, we present a multicenter aortic vessel tree database collection, containing 56 aortas and their branches. The datasets have been acquired with computed tomography angiography (CTA) scans and each scan covers the ascending aorta, the aortic arch and its branches into the head/neck area, the thoracic aorta, the abdominal aorta and th...

Background: Patent false lumens carry a high risk of aortic events including rupture. False lumen embolization is a useful method to promote thrombosis of false lumen. In the case presented here, direct penetration of the dissected membrane was employed to obtain access to the false lumen, enabling embolization. Case report: The case was a 64-year-...

Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has become first-line therapy for complicated acute type B aortic dissection (aTBAD). However, the strategy for optimal proximal landing zone remains to be determined. We compared early outcomes and late aortic-related adverse events in patients undergoing TEVAR for complicated aTBAD with endograft deploy...

Aortic dissection (AD) usually remains undiagnosed, but its manifestation is abrupt and is associated with high morbidity and poor prognosis, leading to sudden cardiac death. Variants in COL family genes are associated with AD. In case 1, a 32-year-old Chinese man was admitted to the hospital with complaints of abdominal pain and died on the next d...
