Key result
Aortic obstruction in type A aortic dissection was associated with a significantly larger breadth of flap movement in the short-axis plane compared to no obstruction (1.55 cm vs 0.75 cm; P<0.05).
Why the study?
Does echocardiography provide precise delineation of intimal flap and dissection extent in patients with type A aortic dissection?

Preoperative echocardiography provides precise delineation of dissection extent and flap movement, which correlates with aortic obstruction in type A aortic dissection.
Yuan et al. (2012) conducted an observational in Type A aortic dissection (n=27). Aortic obstruction vs. No aortic obstruction was evaluated on Breadth of flap movement in short-axis plane (cm) (p=<0.05). Aortic obstruction in type A aortic dissection was associated with a significantly larger breadth of flap movement in the short-axis plane compared to no obstruction (1.55 cm vs 0.75 cm; P<0.05).
