Article Synopsis
- - Acute aortic dissection can lead to serious complications, including circumferential dissections and intimo-intimal intussusception (IIS), which complicate treatment and management.
- - A case study followed a patient for 6 years after experiencing a type B aortic dissection that led to IIS and embolization of the intima, requiring surgical intervention and careful monitoring.
- - Long-term follow-up revealed that, despite initial severe disruption to the aorta, the patient showed significant recovery and stabilization without further complications like rupture or aneurysmal dilation.

Hemorrhage is the leading cause of preventable death after a traumatic injury, and the largest contributor to loss of productive years of life. Hemostatic agents accelerate hemostasis and help control hemorrhage by concentrating coagulation factors, acting as procoagulants and/or interacting with erythrocytes and platelets. Hydrogel composites offer a platform for targeting both mechanical and biological hemostatic mechanisms.
