  • Title: Recurrent type B intramural hematoma progressed into type A acute aortic dissection in a young otherwise healthy woman: are there unknown background factors?
    Author: Baek WK, Han Yoon Y, Taek Kim J, Ho Kim K.
    Journal: Interact Cardiovasc Thorac Surg; 2007 Apr; 6(2):255-6. PubMed ID: 17669834.
    Abstract:
    Intramural hematoma is reported with increasing frequency but the recurrence after complete resolution is rarely reported. We herewith describe a case of type B intramural hematoma in an otherwise healthy 39-year-old woman showing unusual clinical course in which acute aortic dissection developed three months after complete resolution of intramural hematoma. The case clearly reminded us of the potential of intramural hematoma for recurrence and progression to frank aortic dissection even after complete resolution.
