    These contribute to a higher fatality rate in group A dissection if immediate surgery is not performed. The most common corrective surgeries are actual aortic valve replacement and coronary artery bypass. The five-year survival rate after surgery is a successful 70.4% due to vigilant monthly physical exams and chest x-rays to monitor progress.

  3. Aortic dissection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aortic_dissection

    Aortic dissection; Stanford type B dissection of the descending part of the aorta (3), which starts from the left subclavian artery and extends to the abdominal aorta (4). The ascending aorta (1) and aortic arch (2) shown in the image are not involved in this condition.

  4. Valve-sparing aortic root replacement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve-sparing_aortic_root...

    Common features of both techniques of the replacement process are the clamping of the aorta and the use of a length of Dacron tube (also known as an "aortic graft"), typically 5 cm, to constrict the aortic root to the normal diameter, while the patient is cooled to 20°C and placed on life support. The procedure typically takes 4 to 6 hours in ...

  5. Bentall procedure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bentall_procedure

    The Bentall procedure is a type of cardiac surgery involving composite graft replacement of the aortic valve, aortic root, and ascending aorta, with re-implantation of the coronary arteries into the graft. This operation is used to treat combined disease of the aortic valve and ascending aorta, including lesions associated with Marfan syndrome.

    In uncomplicated type B aortic dissection, TEVAR does not seem either to improve or compromise 2-year survival and adverse event rates. [7] Its use in complicated aortic dissection is under investigation. In the Clinical Practice Guidelines of the European Society for Vascular Surgery, it is recommended that in patients with complicated acute ...

  7. Aortic rupture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aortic_rupture

    Aortic rupture is a rare, extremely dangerous condition that is considered a medical emergency. [1] The most common cause is an abdominal aortic aneurysm that has ruptured spontaneously. Aortic rupture is distinct from aortic dissection , which is a tear through the inner wall of the aorta that can block the flow of blood through the aorta to ...

  8. Open aortic surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_aortic_surgery

    Open aortic surgery (OAS) is used to treat patients with aortic aneurysms greater than 5.5 cm in diameter, to treat aortic rupture of an aneurysm any size, to treat aortic dissections, and to treat acute aortic syndrome. It is used to treat infrarenal aneurysms, as well as juxta- and pararenal aneurysm, thoracic and thoracoabdominal aneurysms ...

  9. Acute aortic syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_aortic_syndrome

    Acute aortic syndrome (AAS) describes a range of severe, painful, potentially life-threatening abnormalities of the aorta. [1] These include aortic dissection, intramural thrombus, and penetrating atherosclerotic aortic ulcer. [2] AAS can be caused by a lesion on the wall of the aorta that involves the tunica media, often in the descending ...
