Abdominal Aortic dissections: anatomic and clinical features and therapeutic options

Tex Heart Inst J. 2005;32(1):70-3.

Abstract

Isolated abdominal aortic dissections are rare events. Their anatomic and clinical features are different from those of atherosclerotic aneurysms. We report 4 cases of isolated abdominal aortic dissection that were successfully treated with surgical or endovascular intervention. The anatomic and clinical features and a review of the literature are also presented.
