Key Result

Periaortic fat attenuation index measured at noncontrast CT was elevated in acute aortic dissection and predicted adverse events in patients with uncomplicated type B aortic dissection.

Structured PICO

Does periaortic fat attenuation index measured at noncontrast CT predict adverse events in patients with uncomplicated type B aortic dissection?

P
Population
Patients with acute aortic dissection, specifically uncomplicated type B aortic dissection
I
Intervention
Measurement of periaortic fat attenuation index at noncontrast CT
O
Outcome
Adverse events

Periaortic fat attenuation index on noncontrast CT may serve as a useful imaging biomarker for risk stratification in uncomplicated type B aortic dissection.

Abstract

Periaortic fat attenuation index measured at noncontrast CT was high in patients with acute aortic dissection and predicted adverse events in uncomplicated type B aortic dissection, aiding in risk stratification and personalized treatment.
