Baseline 4D Flow-Derived in vivo Hemodynamic Parameters Stratify Descending Aortic Dissection Patients With Enlarging Aortas.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The purpose of our study was to assess the value of true lumen and false lumen hemodynamics compared to aortic morphological measurements for predicting adverse-aorta related outcomes (AARO) and aortic growth in patients with type B aortic dissection (TBAD).

Materials and methods

Using an IRB approved protocol, we retrospectively identified patients with descending aorta (DAo) dissection at a large tertiary center. Inclusion criteria includes known TBAD with ≥ 6 months of clinical follow-up after initial presentation for TBAD or after ascending aorta intervention for patients with repaired type A dissection with residual type B aortic dissection (rTAAD). Patients with prior descending aorta intervention were excluded. The FL and TL of each patient were manually segme
