Aortic dissection is a disease whereby an injury in the wall of the aorta leads to the creation
of a true lumen and a false lumen separated by an intimal flap which may contain multiple …

Aortic dissection, characterized by separation of the layers of the aortic wall, poses a
significant challenge for clinicians. While type A aortic dissection patients are normally …

Type A aortic dissection (TAAD) involves the ascending aorta or the arch. Acute TAAD
usually requires urgent replacement of the ascending aorta. However, a subset of these …

The optimal treatment of Type-B aortic dissection (AD) is still a subject of debate, with up to
50% of the cases developing late-term complications requiring invasive intervention. A …

It is believed that the progression of Stanford type B aortic dissection is closely associated
with vascular geometry and hemodynamic parameters. The hemodynamic differences owing …

In the present work, we perform numerical simulations of the fluid flow in type B aortic
dissection (AD), accounting for the flexibility of the intimal flap. The interaction of the flow …

An aortic dissection (AD) is a serious condition defined by the splitting of the arterial wall,
thus generating a secondary lumen [the false lumen (FL)]. Its management, treatment and …

This work explores the use of an embedded computational fluid dynamics method to study
the type B aortic dissection. The use of the proposed technique makes it possible to easily …

Descending aortic dissection (DAD) is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates.
Aortic wall stiffness is a variable often altered in DAD patients and potentially involved in …

Introduction Predicting aortic growth in acute type B dissection is fundamental in planning
interventions. Several factors are considered to be growth predictors in the literature and …
