Malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the thoracic aorta associated with ulcer-like projection has not been reported previously. The hypovascular tumor of the thoracic aorta involved the mural layer, which showed intra- and extra-mural growth patterns and no significant filling defect within the aortic lumen, and mimicked ulcer-like projection with secondary pseudoaneurysm formation. Aortic tumor, although rare, should be included among the causes of an ulcer-like projection.

Coil Embolization for a New Ulcer-Like Projection Near the Distal Anastomosis After a Hemiaortic Arch Replacement.

Ulcer-like projections (ULPs) with a tendency to enlarge are at risk of aortic events such as new dissection, aneurysmal formation, or rupture and require therapeutic intervention. However, what should be done after open chest surgery when standard thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) cannot be performed is debatable. Here, we present a case of coil embolization of a newly enlarged ULP that was not amenable to TEVAR following a hemiarch aortic arch repair.

Objectives: Ascending aortic length has recently been recognized as a novel predictor of adverse events in aortic diseases, but its prognostic value in type A intramural haematoma is unknown. We aimed to evaluate the association between ascending aortic length and outcomes in patients with type A intramural haematoma initially managed medically.
Methods: We retrospectively analysed patients with acute type A intramural haematoma.
Early and Late Surgery-Free Rates of Conservative Management Strategy for Thrombosed Type A Acute Aortic Dissection and Acute Intramural Hematoma.

Article Synopsis
- The doctors studied patients with serious heart conditions called AIMH and RT-TAAAD and used a careful treatment plan to manage their health.
- They looked at the records of 98 patients over 15 years to see how well this treatment worked, and most patients didn't need surgery.
- The results showed that having a certain type of heart problem and a larger heart size could lead to needing surgery later on, but many patients did well without it.
Spontaneous Isolated Superior Mesenteric Arterial Dissection Treated with a Coronary Covered Stent: A Case Report.
Vasc Specialist Int
September 2024
Department of Radiology, University Hospitals KU Leuven, Leuven, Belgium.
Article Synopsis
- - Spontaneous isolated dissection of the superior mesenteric artery is uncommon and can show various clinical symptoms, with treatment tailored to the symptoms and imaging results.
- - A case study details a 51-year-old man who experienced ongoing abdominal pain, and imaging revealed an isolated dissection of the superior mesenteric artery with severe narrowing and a thrombosed false lumen.
- - The patient received a definitive treatment using a coronary covered stent to restore blood flow in the true lumen and effectively close off the false lumen.
A nomogram prediction model for short-term aortic-related adverse events in patients with acute Stanford type B aortic intramural hematoma: development and validation.

Background: This study is to examine the factors associated with short-term aortic-related adverse events in patients with acute type B aortic intramural hematoma (IMH). Additionally, we develop a risk prediction nomogram model and evaluate its accuracy.
Methods: This study included 197 patients diagnosed with acute type B IMH.
