Clinical features and surgical outcomes of type A intramural hematoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Data on the clinical features and surgical outcomes of type A intramural hematoma (IMH) in Chinese patients are very limited. We aimed to present the surgical experiences on type A IMH in our center, and report early and late outcomes.
