Mechanical Characterization of Ascending Aorta in Patients With and Without Aortic Dissection

NCT02860182 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 90

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Acute type A aortic dissection is a frequent (3 cases per 100 000 people per year) and severe (spontaneous mortality 70%), needing an emergency surgical treatment. Surgical outcomes have improved with the development of surgical techniques, but the postoperative mortality remains high (15-30% at 30 days). Endovascular approach with the deployment of endoprosthesis sealing the proximal intimal tear is an attractive minimally invasive technique, which can represent an alternative to surgical repair especially in high risk patients.
