Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the connection between changes in the morphology of aortic dissections and levels of specific hemostatic molecular markers in patients over several years.
- A total of 50 patients were categorized based on CT imaging into four morphological groups of the false lumen, with blood samples collected to measure markers like thrombin-antithrombin complex (TAT) and D-dimer.
- Results indicated that changes in TAT and D-dimer levels correlated with the morphological behavior of the false lumen, suggesting these markers may help predict the evolution of aortic dissection.
Atherosclerotic and dysplastic aneurysms of the extracranial internal carotid artery are rare in Japan. We have experienced only four cases since 1982. The patients were two men and two women with a mean age of 67 years (range 51 to 82 years).

Methods: Between 1990 and 2001, a total of 18 patients underwent one of two types of lead-preserving procedures.
