Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Medicine
  • Radiology
  • Vascular Surgery

Context:

  • Acute aortic syndrome (AAS) is a spectrum of diseases affecting the aorta.
  • Classic aortic dissection is well-recognized, but other variants pose diagnostic challenges.

Purpose:

  • To review the anatomical and diagnostic features of acute aortic pathologies.
  • To improve the identification of patients with less common AAS variants.

Summary:

  • Acute aortic syndrome includes aortic dissection, intramural aortic hematoma, and penetrating aortic ulcers.
  • Intramural hematoma and penetrating aortic ulcers lack typical signs like a mobile flap or double lumen, complicating diagnosis.
  • Understanding specific anatomical and imaging findings is key to diagnosing these challenging aortic conditions.

Impact:

  • Enhanced diagnostic accuracy for acute aortic pathologies.
  • Improved patient outcomes through timely and appropriate treatment.
  • A valuable resource for clinicians managing patients with acute aortic syndromes.
