    Author: Juszkat R, Pukacki F, Oszkinis G, Zarzecka A, Majewski W.
    Journal: Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol; 2007; 30(5):1056-60. PubMed ID: 17671808.
    Abstract:
    Intramural hematoma (IMH) of the thoracic aorta is a complication with unknown etiology and a poorly predictable prognosis. There is also considerable controversy about the management and prognosis of IMH as well as the treatment. We present two cases of endovascular treatment of IMH with stent-graft placement. On the basis of references, we discuss risks of progression of the given pathology and possible complications. Despite the lack of uniform opinion about the management of this disorder, we present our observations of and experiences with endovascular treatment of IMH of the thoracic aorta.
