Nonoperative Management of Type B Aortic Dissection
摘要
Acute aortic dissection is a highly morbid and potentially lethal condition, requiring prompt diagnosis and intervention. Type B aortic dissection involves the descending thoracic aorta, sparing the ascending aorta, and can be classified as complicated or uncomplicated. Historically, uncomplicated Type B aortic dissection was managed with careful surveillance, hemodynamic control of blood pressure, and repeat imaging.
