Prognostic significance of early aortic remodeling in acute uncomplicated type B aortic dissection and intramural hematoma

摘要

Background: Patients with Stanford type B aortic dissections (ADs) are at risk of long-term disease progression and late complications. The aim of this study was to evaluate the natural course and evolution of acute type B AD and intramural hematomas (IMHs) in patients who presented without complications during their initial hospital admission and who were treated with optimal medical management (MM).
