Medical treatment of dissecting aortic aneurysm: report of a case
박리성 대동맥류의 보존적 치료 1례 보
Abstract
Aortic dissection, a condition characterized by hemorrhage into the media and variable extension along the length of the aorta, has long been recognized as a catastrophic Cardiovascular event. Recent developments in diagnostic and therapeutic skills have improved the prognosis considerably, but there is still controversy as to how cases should be managed. We experienced a case of dissecting aortic aneurysm [DeBakey Type III ], which were managed using intensive medical treatment. The period of follow up was about 11 years. At last, patient was died by progression of dissection into proximal aorta and resulted in aortic insufficiency and congestive heart failure.
