Clinical characteristics and therapeutic strategy for patients with spontaneous isolated abdominal aortic dissection.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Spontaneous isolated abdominal aortic dissection (SIAAD) is a rare aortic emergency and not yet fully understood. This study aims to report the characteristics and treatments of 31 patients with SIAAD in the past 12 years.

Methods
