摘要: The acute event of thoracic aortic dissection carries with it high mortality and morbidity. Despite optimal initial surgical or medical management strategies, the risk further complications in long-term, including aneurysmal dilatation false lumen (FL) expansion, are not insignificant. Adequate follow-up such conditions requires dedicated imaging where relevant prognostic indicators accurately assessed. We perform a systematic review literature report current evidence for use magnetic resonance (MRI) assessment chronic dissection. then make comparison traditional modalities computed tomography echocardiography. discuss new ways which MRI may extend existing assessment, identification blood-flow dynamics within TL FL using phase-contrast imaging.
