Study on the clinical value of computed tomography angiography in the diagnosis of aortic aneurysm

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery

Background The aim of this study is to explore the clinical value of computed tomography angiography (CTA) in the diagnosis of aortic aneurysm. Results There was no significant difference in the accuracy of diagnosing aortic aneurysms (P > 0.05) between DSA [98.33% (59/60)] and CTA [95.00% (57/60)].

Male–Female Differences in Acute Type B Aortic Dissection

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundAcute type B aortic dissection is a cardiovascular emergency with considerable mortality and morbidity risk. Prior abdominal aortic aneurysm (6% versus 15%;P=0.009), distally extending dissections (71 versus 85%;P=0.001), and clinical malperfusion (18% versus 32%;P=0.002) were less frequently observed in women.
