Aortic Aneurysm and Dissection

In conclusion, the present study did not find an increased prevalence of GCA/PMR among a cohort of Israeli patients with AA/D. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Dyspnea with Sudden Onset

    On presentation, these family members complained of dyspnea and sudden onset of severe pain in the chest, abdomen, or upper and lower extremities (Table 1). [ojrd.biomedcentral.com]

  • Mid Back Pain

    Abdominal aortic aneurysms often present with lumbar or abdominal mid-back pain. They can also have ischemic bowels, since, as their aneurysm expands, it results in an inadequate blood supply to the bowels, says York. [reliasmedia.com]

  • Bilateral Arm Weakness

    Our investigation revealed that both patients (VII-26 and VII-27) had complained of bilateral arm weakness, effort-induced shoulder pain, and general fatigue. [ojrd.biomedcentral.com]

  • Short Arm

    When blood is pumped out by the heart, it first travels through the ascending thoracic aorta (up the short arm of the candy cane), then down the descending thoracic aorta (first part of the long arm) into the abdominal aorta (the bottom of the candy cane [tadcoalition.org]

  • Slurred Speech

    Aortic aneurysm rupture can lead to stroke, which causes sudden weakness or numbness in a limb, slurred speech, or lack of vision and balance. If you think you or someone you know is experiencing any of these conditions, call 9-1-1 immediately. [heart.stonybrookmedicine.edu]

A good patient history and physical examination are essential, along with imaging studies, electrocardiography, and laboratory studies (see Workup). Acute aortic dissection can be treated surgically or medically. [emedicine.medscape.com]

PARTICIPANTS: 360 088 treatment episodes of fluoroquinolone use (78%ciprofloxacin) and propensity score matched comparator episodes of amoxicillin use (n 360 088). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment for an Aortic Aneurysm Surgical or interventional treatment of an aortic aneurysm or dissection will depend on the location and size of the aneurysm. [helios-gesundheit.de]

CT scanning may be used to confirm the diagnosis but is less helpful in complications and prognosis. [patient.info]

If the operation was successful, it neutralized the effect of diagnosis on prognosis (Figure 2). In the seminal Olmsted County study by Bickerstaff et al,1 a TAD incidence of 5.3 of 100 000/year is reported. [ahajournals.org]

Obstruction of branch vessels · DX o MRI if available is usually best for imaging ascending aorta o Contrast-enhanced CT can image arch and descending aorta o Transesophageal ultrasound, if available, especially for root and ascending aorta o Angiography · Prognosis [learningradiology.com]

Despite the phenotypic overlap of these syndromes, important differences in prognosis underline the importance of accurate diagnosis to optimize management strategies. [acc.org]

BACKGROUND: Hereditary factors play an important etiologic role in thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection (TAAD), with a number of genes proven to predispose to this condition. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Atherosclerosis is important for the etiology of descending aortic aneurysm and its histological features are similar to that of abdominal aortic aneurysm. Cystic medial necrosis is also important for the etiology of aortic dissection. [ci.nii.ac.jp]

Both twins had deep vein thrombosis of unclear etiology, possibly attributed entirely to immobility after surgery. [pediatrics.aappublications.org]

The results presented confer light to the importance of mortality statistics and the need for epidemiologic studies to understand unique trends in our own population. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Data from epidemiologic and non-clinical studies indicate an increased risk of aortic aneurysm and dissection after intake of fluoroquinolones. [gov.uk]

In Brazil, epidemiologic studies on aneurysms are scarce and the available literature is outdated. [bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com]
