- Abstract:
- Acute type B dissections accompanied by an intramural haematoma in the ascending aorta are rare. However, progression of the intramural haematoma in the ascending aorta poses risks for the patients, which are similar to those of type A dissections, including pericardial effusions and consecutive tamponade. To date, no clear treatment guidelines exist for these patients. We report on successful percutaneous endovascular stent-graft treatment of an acute type B dissection accompanied by an intramural haematoma in the ascending aorta as primary and sole form of treatment.
