Why the study?
Current risk assessment in type B aortic dissection focuses on anatomy, but hemodynamic factors causing false lumen pressurization may significantly influence aortic growth.
Does false lumen ejection fraction measured by 4D flow MRI predict the rate of aortic growth in patients with type B aortic dissection?
Population
18 patients with dissection of the descending thoraco-abdominal aorta
Comparison
Haemodynamic and anatomic factors evaluated for predicting aortic growth rate
Design
Prospective observational study

False lumen ejection fraction measured by 4D flow MRI is an independent predictor of aortic growth rate in type B aortic dissection, offering a non-invasive method for risk assessment.
