2 lis 2022 · Because the initial presentation is commonly acute aortic dissection, screening family members is important to guide prophylactic surgery to prevent potential aortic dissection. Clearly, elective surgery before aortic dissection yields better long-term survival with fewer aortic reinterventions than surgery after aortic dissection. 4-7

Results. Baseline Data. A total of 97 patients were surgically treated for an acute onset lower limb ischemia (n 84, 86.6% of patients), an acute onset upper limb ischemia (n 8, 8.2% of patients), and an acute mesenteric ischemia (n 5, 5.2% of patients) during the study period.
Primary aortic mural thrombus (PAMT) is an uncommon condition but an important source of noncardiogenic emboli with a difficult diagnosis and a high rate of complications, including high mortality. We report our experience of thromboembolic disease from PAMT and review its contemporary management.
This study examined whether a patient's mural thrombus ratio may be an indicator of 1-year survival. These findings suggest that the combination of a patient's aortic mural thrombus ratio and age can function as a preoperative indicator of their underlying cardiac reserve.
Mural thrombus vs IMH. Mural thrombus in a dilated aorta may appear as a crescentic wall thickening, usually with an irregular luminal surface, but it does not show high attenuation on noncontrast CT images. In addition, IMH displaces intimal calcifications inward, whereas wall calcifications are located along the outer border of the aorta in ...
For patients with a favorable mural thrombus ratio (n = 36), the overall 1-year survival was 86.1% (5 died, 31 survived). The subjects with an unfavorable mural thrombus ratio (n = 37), had an overall 1 year survival of 56.8% (16 died, and 21 survived).
The present national study provides essential perspectives on survival time after SAVR with a bioprosthesis in patients with aortic stenosis at various surgical risks and various age categories.
