TBAD has, in the past, been managed with surgery only for a life or limb threatening complication. Panel A demonstrates a three-dimensional (3-D) reconstruction of a computed tomography angiogram showing a classic type B aortic dissection in an 84-year-old male patient. Type B aortic dissection. Although hemopericardium often occurs in Stanford type A acute aortic dissection or intramural hematoma, any reports of this in type B dissection have never been found in the literature.1 We here describe the first case of cardiac tamponade caused by hemopericardium in type B acute thrombosed aortic dissection. Type B dissections can go on to be chronic, with continued leakage into the dissection, even if a stent has been placed. Type B dissection can be managed medically especially if no other end-organ damage. Accordingly, conventional open repair remains a viable and valuable option. This reduces the amount of oxygen and nutrients available for your bodys organs. And so type B dissections are a little bit more complicated or nuanced in that they may require surgery or a procedure. Generally requires surgery. Type A may be treated with open surgery (midline sternotomy) to remove the section of the aorta with the defect in the wall and replace it with a synthetic graft. 13 It is caused by a tear in the intimal layer of the descending thoracic aorta, which allows blood flow between the intima and media, resulting in a separation of these layers. Type B Aortic Dissection: This type of tear is located further down the aorta (descending aorta), further from the heart, surgery may not be necessary initially, but intensive medical therapy for blood pressure control is paramount. It requires immediate surgery. Background: Stanford type B aortic dissection is one of the aortic catastrophes with a high mortality and morbidity that needs immediate or delayed treatment, either surgically or endovascularly. The exclusion criteria were bicuspid aortic valve, connective tissue disease, previous history of aortic surgery, non-A non-B dissection [defined as descending-entry type with entry distally to the left subclavian artery (LSA) and dissection extending into the aortic arch, and arch-entry type with entry between the innominate and LSA] [15, 16]. They might not, but they definitely would need to be in the hospital. He had surgery to correct the type A, he has a mechanical valve. All decisions should be made in a multidisciplinary fashion with consultation with Maternal Fetal Medicine and Cardiothoracic Surgery. Although general consensus exists regarding the need of immediate surgical repair for patients with acute ascending aortic dissection (type A dissection), the optimal treatment of type B dissection has long been a matter of debate. 2020;58:700-706. However, this tear can also form in the aortic arch. Surgical intervention in Type B dissections is only warranted in the presence of certain complications, such as rupture, renal, visceral or limb ischaemia, refectory pain, or uncontrollable hypertension. Surgery with a thoracic aortic stent is now also offered to prevent late aortic Figure 1. Type I (50% dissection) such dissections occur in the ascending aorta and tend to spread to the surrounding regions such as the aortic arch and even beyond. Recent advances in endovascular intervention have begun to establish preemptive thoracic endovascular aortic repair as a potential strategy. The distal extent of a type A aortic dissection is then simply designated by zone. Prediction of mortality rate in acute type A 348 dissection: the German Registry for Acute Type A Aortic Dissection score. 2020;58:700-706. Although most type B aortic dissections are treated with medication, you may need surgery if you develop ischemia, a condition in which the dissection prevents the flow of blood to certain organs or to the legs. Type B dissections may be managed without surgery by closely controlling a patients blood pressure. 347 11. Aortic dissection is the surging of blood through a tear in the aortic intima with separation of the intima and media and creation of a false lumen (channel). Acute type B aortic dissection (ABAD) is a serious cardiovascular condition associated with high morbidity and mortality. 1 The purpose of the updated reporting standards was to establish a standardized language for presentation, anatomy, and procedural and postoperative follow-up in manuscripts describing patients treated for TBAD. Patients will exhibit a peripheral pulse deficit in 15-30% of cases, approximately two-fold more commonly in type A dissection as compared to type B dissection. For Type A dissection, surgery is preferred over medication. An aortic dissection is a tear (dissection) in the wall of the bodys main artery, the aorta. aortic arch. Clinical diagnosis Necessarily, TEVAR carries with it the risk of postoperative complications, including stroke and renal failure. Currently, our knowledge of aortic dissection and endovascular treatment is primarily derived from western registries including the The Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS) and Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) recently published a joint document on reporting standards for type B aortic dissection (TBAD). For the purposes of our discussion, we use the term "acute" type B aortic dissection to refer to the period 90 days encompassing the hyperacute (<24 hours), acute (1 to 14 days), and subacute (15 to 90 days) periods as defined by the Society for Vascular Surgery/Society for Thoracic Surgery reporting guidelines that classify aortic dissection based on the timing from the onset of symptoms [ 2 ]. The distal extent of a type A aortic dissection is then simply designated by zone. The dissection may occur anywhere along the aorta and extend proximally or distally into other arteries. Type A occurs in the arch and proximal descending aorta (the area from the left ventricle to the aortic arch). Treatment of type B aortic dissection may include: Medications. The procedure is similar to that used to correct a type A aortic dissection. Your doctor may recommend endovascular surgery to remove the blockage. Aortic Dissection (AD) occurs with an intimal tear that allows redirection of blood from from the aorta (true lumen) through this defect into the aortic media creating a false lumen and a dissection plane that separates the aortic intima from the overlying aortic adventitia. Therefore, we consider it is sufficient to repair type A dissection to a level at which it corresponds to type B dissection, even if the intimal tear is not located in the distal aortic arch. Women with a stable type B dissection may be managed medically if stable. A tear causes blood to get in between the aortas 3 layers. The timing and need for intervention (surgical/endovascular) differs for ascending (type A) and descending (type B) thoracic aortic dissection, and thus, early determination of the extent of dissection is important. Symptoms of aortic dissection include a tearing or ripping pain, nausea, sweating, weakness, shortness of breath, sweating, or fainting. 350 12. Prediction of mortality rate in acute type A 348 dissection: the German Registry for Acute Type A Aortic Dissection score. Type non-A non-B, dissection involving the aortic arch and the descending aorta but not the ascending aorta. Thank you for your post. As a An aortic dissection is a tear that occurs between the innermost and middle layers of the aorta. We present a notable case of a 63-year-old male who presented This Society for Vascular Surgery/Society of Thoracic Surgeons (SVS/STS) document illustrates and defines the overall nomenclature associated with type B aortic dissection. Czerny M, Siepe M, Beyersdorf F, et al. A patient-specific study of typeB aortic dissection: evaluation of true-false lumen blood exchange. The same medications that are used to treat type A aortic dissection may be used without surgery to treat type B aortic dissections. Reproduced with Necessarily, TEVAR carries with it the risk of postoperative complications, including stroke and renal failure. Treatment of type B aortic dissection may include: Medications. It can be difficult to differentiate the signs and symptoms of torn aorta from those of the impaired heart conditions, such as heart attack. The most common symptoms of these conditions are chest pain and pain in the upper back. J Mech Med Biol 2014; 14 (02):1450017. 51 (6):1507-9. Eur J 349 Cardiothorac Surg. 350 12. A 49-year-old male with a history of type A dissection repair (ascending tube graft) presented with a residual 6-cm expanding extent III thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA). The best management of acute uncomplicated type B aortic dissection is currently a controversial area. Aortic dissections occur in approximately 3 per 100,000 patients per year. The impact of the number of tears in patient-specific Stanford type B aortic dissecting aneurysm: CFD simulation. The risk of death due to aortic dissection is highest in the first few hours after the dissection begins, and decreases afterwards. In the example illustrated, the entry tear is in zone 3 and the dissection process involves zone 1 proximally and extends distally to zone 9; the dissection is fully classified as B1,9. Chang G, Wang H, Chen W, Yao C, Li Z, Wang S. Endovascular repair of a type B aortic dissection with a ventricular septal defect occluder. For example, a type A 9 dissection represents a dissection entry tear in zone 0 with distal extension of the dissection into zone 9 (Figure 4). 5, 7 In contrast, in the Study of Thoracic Aortic Type B Dissection Using Endoluminal Repair (STABLE I), favorable results were found with the Zenith Dissection Endovascular System (Cook Medical) with a 30day paraplegia rate of 1.8%. 14 Distal or descending thoracic aortic dissection generally is associated with better survival compared with that involving the ascending aorta. The incidence of aortic dissection is approximately 3 in 100,000, with roughly two-thirds of these being Type A It is normal to have some pain after surgery. Abstract: The major goal of surgery for acute type A aortic dissection is to have an alive patient. This motto still remains the most important directive. If hemodynamically unstable consider pericardiocentesis. Tears in the intimal layer result in the propagation of dissection (proximally or distally) secondary to blood entering the intima-media space. Complications include. These patients are first managed using intravenous blood pressure medications and close, careful monitoring. Acute aortic dissection is one of the most dreadful cardiovascular events, with still high mortality in the acute phase. For example, a type A 9 dissection represents a dissection entry tear in zone 0 with distal extension of the dissection into zone 9 (Figure 4). An aortic dissection with an entry tear in zone 1 or beyond is classified as type B. A review about the management for type B aortic dissection has been conducted. Emergency surgical correction is the preferred treatment for Stanford type A (DeBakey type I and II) ascending aortic dissection. Type B aortic dissection. Any new pain could be an indicator of an aortic event. Aortic dissection is a medical emergency. Early surgery for an acute Type B aortic dissection has traditionally been considered an inappropriate surgery, with a high incidence of anastomotic bleeding (perhaps due to the much lower number of lamellae in the descending aorta) (2,25). The typical clinical presentation of acute type B aortic dissection is that of a man in his 60s or 70s who presents at the emergency department with sudden-onset severe or ripping chest pain and in obvious acute distress. 0(Figure 3). Symptoms of aortic dissection include a tearing or ripping pain, nausea, sweating, weakness, shortness of breath, sweating, or fainting. It has been reported that the 3-year mortality rate of patients with type B dissection (even with a patent false lumen) is only 10% to 20%. Eur J 349 Cardiothorac Surg. The aorta sends blood from your heart to the rest of your body. By: Edward Y. Woo The aorta, the main vessel that carries blood from your heart to the rest of your body, is made of 3 layers. Stanford type A aortic dissection: any dissection involving the ascending aorta (defined as proximal to the brachiocephalic artery ), regardless of origin. Acute aortic dissection (AAD) is an important emergency that should be identified promptly. The risk of rupture is high, and usually requires surgery to repair the aorta and possibly replace the aortic valve. ( b) Post-stent graft deployment, the false lumen has been excluded by coverage of the proximal entry tear. Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has quickly become the mainstay of treatment for acute aortic dissection, in particular cases of acute complicated Stanford Type B dissection (co-TBAD). Dissections that involve the first part of the aorta usually require surgery. Women with type A dissection during pregnancy should be evaluated for urgent Caesarean section and aortic surgery if the fetus is viable. DeBakey Type III dissections involve the descending thoracic aorta and are subdivided into Type IIIa (descending thoracic aorta only) and Type IIIb (extending into abdominal aorta). 5. Experience with fenestrated endovascular aortic endograft (FEVAR) in the treatment of post dissection aneurysms remains challenging. Surgical consultation. If the false channel travels toward the ascending aorta this is classified as a Type A aortic dissection. 1 This includes both Stanford Type A dissections, which originate in the ascending aorta, as well as Type B dissections, which originate in the descending aorta, distal to the origin of the left subclavian artery. However, complicated type B aortic dissection, such as descending aortic rupture, uncontrolled pain, and malperfusion of the aortic branch or lower extremities, is an indication for urgent surgery . 2019. Type B, dissection involving the descending aorta but not the aortic arch or ascending aorta. Ascending aortic diameter > 5.0 to 5.5 cm in patients without Marfan syndrome. The same medications that are used to treat type A aortic dissection may be used without surgery to treat type B aortic dissections. My husband had a type A and B dissention in April 2014. Type A - The tear can originate in the aorta where it exits the heart, or as a tear extending from the upper to lower sections of the aorta Type A is the more common and dangerous dissection type. and distally to the. In the main category of each type of dissection, the primary entry (identified and verified by the treating physician) is characterized as follows: 5. Type B aortic dissection is considered a medical condition that can be initially treated with aggressive control of blood pressure. A Type B aortic dissection, on the other hand, does You give me hope. Implantation of a composite graft in the ascending aorta, with or without re-implantation of coronary arteries, is performed. The type B aneurysm dissection is focused solely on a rip that develops in the section of the artery that travels into the abdominal area. While less dangerous than a type A situation, the type B aneurysm is still very dangerous, and should be treated as soon as possible. Chronicity of aortic dissection is also defined along with nomenclature in patients with prior aortic Acute aortic dissection (AAD) is an emergency condition with high rates of mortality and morbidity. Ascending aortic diameter > 4.5 cm in patients with Marfan syndrome or other connective tissue disorders. An aortic dissection is a tear in the wall of the aorta that allows blood to flow within the layers of the aorta. There are two types of Aortic Dissection: Type A and Type B. A type B aortic dissection originates in the descending aorta, which extends from the arch at the top of the ascending aortathe part that extends upward from the heartin the chest to the bottom section of the aorta, also known as Type B Aortic Dissection Type B aortic dissection involves the rest of the aorta, so from the aortic arch on down and including the abdomen. The two main types are Stanford type A, which involves the first part of the aorta, and type B, which does not. Role and results of surgery in acute type B aortic dissection: insights from the International Registry of Acute Aortic Dissection (IRAD). 5,6 The introduction of newer management strategies that have shown the potential to improve outcomes has reduced the The contents describe a new classification system for practical use and reporting that includes the aortic arch. Type B occurs in the descending aorta. Surgical intervention from the vascular team will depend on the type of aortic dissection. Aortic dissection is a small tear in the large blood vessel that leads from the heart and supplies blood to the body. 1, 2 According to the International Registry of Acute Aortic Dissection (IRAD), the surgical mortality rate of type A aortic dissection has significantly In most patients with type B aortic dissection, medical therapy including analgesia, antihypertensive drugs, and bed rest is performed. As the name suggests, this procedure preserves the aortic valve, attaching it to a graft that replaces the ascending aorta. This is an operation that every cardiac surgeon should be able to perform, and if it is planned and executed well, the mortality and morbidity rates can be reduced.5,6 Some dissection patients require open surgery. Stanford type B aortic dissection (TBAD) is a life-threatening vascular disease, with a 5-year mortality of about 3040%. The incidence of aortic dissection is approximately 3 in 100,000, with roughly two-thirds of these being Type A Can be harmless, serious or life-threatening Less than half of all patients with aortic dissection will display physical exam abnormalities historically described for this condition. Acute type B aortic dissection comprises approximately one-third of all aortic dissection cases. Stanford type B aortic dissections (TBADs) involve the descending aorta and can present with complications, including malperfusion syndrome or aortic rupture, which are associated with significant morbidity and mortality if left untreated. For acute type A (types I and II) dissection, surgery aims to prevent aortic rupture and pericardial tamponade and to relieve aortic regurgitation . Type A dissections are an emergency and typically require surgery, which was the case for Jessup. [Medline] . The contents describe a new classification system for practical use and reporting that includes the aortic arch. Type B dissections occur when theres a tear in the lower aorta. The intimal tear may be a primary event or secondary to hemorrhage within the media. Aortic dissection is a cardiovascular disease with high fatality. surgery. Sennertus was the first to describe the dissection process. Prevention is by blood pressure control and not smoking. Symptoms of an aortic dissection include breathlessness, fainting, sweating, trouble speaking, dizziness, or numbnesslike in Jessups case.
