AI Article Synopsis
- * During surgery for the aortic dissection, the medical team also performed mitral valve replacement using a bioprosthetic valve due to worsened mitral regurgitation.
- * The surgery went smoothly without complications, and the patient was able to leave the hospital on foot after rehabilitation, demonstrating the benefits of simultaneous surgical intervention.
Article Abstract
The patient was a 74-year-old woman who was originally followed up for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and mitral regurgitation without subjective symptoms. With the onset of acute aortic dissection, the mitral regurgitation was exacerbated with systolic anterior motion. In addition to aortic dissection surgery, mitral valve surgery was performed. The mitral valve was approached through a right-sided left atrial incision and replaced with a bioprosthetic valve. For aortic dissection, ascending aortic replacement was performed. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged on foot after rehabilitation. Simultaneous mitral valve surgery for acute aortic dissection is rare, but by intervening simultaneously, we were able to achieve a favorable postoperative course.

Rehabilitation Progress in Patients Following Surgery for Acute Stanford Type A Aortic Dissection Extending Beyond the Ascending Aorta.
J Clin Med

Department of Medical Rehabilitation and Clinical Physiotherapy, Pomeranian Medical University, 70-204 Szczecin, Poland.
The objective of this study was to assess the course of rehabilitation of patients hospitalized in the cardiac rehabilitation unit after surgery for acute Stanford type A aortic dissection, extending beyond the ascending aorta, and comparing these findings with those for patients who, after the same type of surgery, had no remaining dissection. The aim was to develop an optimal cardiac rehabilitation model for this patient population, given the lack of clear guidelines. Additionally, the study aimed to evaluate their one-year survival.

Thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAAs) are rare but serious conditions characterized by dilation of the aorta characterized by remodeling of the vessel wall, with changes in the elastin and collagen content. Individuals with Marfan syndrome have a genetic predisposition for elastic fiber fragmentation and elastin degradation and are prone to early aneurysm formation and progression. Our objective was to analyze the medial collagen characteristics through histological, polarized light microscopy, and electron microscopy methods across the thoracic and abdominal aorta in twenty-five patients undergoing open surgical repair, including nine with Marfan syndrome.

Department of Medical Imaging and Intervention, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Taoyuan City 333423, Taiwan.
Background/objectives: To develop and validate a model system using deep learning algorithms for the automatic detection of type A aortic dissection (AD), and differentiate it from normal and type B AD patients.
Methods: In this retrospective study, a deep learning model is developed, based on aortic computed tomography angiography (CTA) scans of 498 patients using training, validation and test sets of 398, 50 and 50 patients, respectively. An independent test set of 316 patients is used to validate and evaluate its performance.

Background: The aim of the study was to analyze the mid-term outcomes of the frozen elephant trunk (FET) procedure for chronic aortic dissection (СAD).
Methods: From March 2012 to December 2022, 123 FET procedures were performed in patients with acute and chronic aortic dissection as well as aortic aneurysm. Fifty-five patients with chronic aortic dissection (CAD) were eligible for study.
