Radiological evaluation of the ascending aorta following repair of type A dissection

Abstract: A patient with persistent chronic dissection proximal to an aortic interposition graft for repair of a type A dissection prompted us to review the computed tomographic (CT) findings in 14 other such patients 5-47 months after surgery. No other case of proximal aortic dissection was identified although dilatation of the aortic root proximal to the graft was present in 8 patients (57%). Persistent dissection distal to the graft in 11 patients (79%) was in keeping with that reported by other workers. Chronic diss… Show more

“…27 Aortograms may show a dilated aortic root (Figure 1), or diffuse aneurysmal dilation of the ascending aorta in severe cases, 26 There may be intimal flaps in the presence of aortic dissection. 28 In the early years, aortography demonstrated aortic dilation and aortic regurgitation, but this may occasionally miss the diagnosis of aortic dissection. 29 Echocardiography may detect aortic root dilation (Figure 2) and mitral valve prolapse (Figure 3A), the two main findings of Marfan's syndrome.…”
