  • Title: [Role of radiology in the diagnosis of aortic dissection].
    Author: Meuli R, Maeder P, Chapuis L, Schnyder P.
    Journal: Schweiz Med Wochenschr; 1993 Oct 30; 123(43):2015-22. PubMed ID: 8272777.
    Abstract:
    Aortic dissection requires a prompt diagnosis and must be treated without delay in order to reduce the mortality rate. Whereas aortic dissection involving the ascending aorta (type A) requires immediate surgery, aortic dissection involving the descending aorta (type B) will usually be treated conservatively. This review article reevaluates the respective efficiency of conventional and modern radiological means offered in a well equipped university hospital.
