Background Type A aortic dissection (TAAD) has a rapid onset and high mortality. Currently,
aortic diameter is the major criterion for evaluating the risk of TAAD. We attempted to find …

OBJECTIVES This study aimed to analyse and determine the role of aortic length and
curvature in the pathogenesis of acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) with ascending …

OBJECTIVES Type A aortic dissection (TAD), which consists of an intimal tear in the aorta,
necessitates emergency surgery. Various risk factors related to aortic dissection have been …

OBJECTIVES Unlike aneurysm formation, the role of ascending aortic elongation in the
pathogenesis of Type A aortic dissection (TAD) is largely unclear. We investigated the …

Background Acute type A aortic dissection (AAAD) is a pathological process that implicates
the ascending aorta and represents a surgical emergency burdened by high mortality if not …

Objectives Prophylactic surgery for prevention of acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) is
reserved for patients with an ascending aortic aneurysm≥ 55 mm. Identification of additional …

OBJECTIVES Recently, increased length of the ascending aorta has been suggested as a
possible risk factor for acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD). Our goal was to identify …

Background Acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) is a highly lethal event, associated with
aortic dilatation. It is not well known if patient height, weight or sex impact the thoracic aortic …

Background The aim of this study was to determine the role of ascending aortic length and
diameter in type A aortic dissection. Methods and Results Computed tomography scans from …

Background Aortic dilatation is a major risk factor for aortic dissection. The aim of the present
study was to assess the relationship between left ventricular (LV) geometry and maximal …
