2024年7月5日 · Penetrating atherosclerotic ulcers with a depth >10 mm and width >20 mm are associated with a higher rate of progression to aortic dissection, aneurysm and rupture 17,21. Ulcer depth is the distance penetrated beyond the intima, and width is the maximal perpendicular dimension of the ulcer within the vessel wall 21.
Demystifying penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer of aorta: …
Abstract. This review article describes demographic features, comorbidities, clinical and imaging findings, prognosis, and treatment strategies in penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer (PAU) and closely related entities using google scholar web search. PAU is one of the manifestations of the acute aortic syndrome (AAS) spectrum.
Penetrating Atherosclerotic Ulcer of the Aorta: Imaging …
2000年7月1日 · At computed tomography (CT), penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer manifests as focal involvement with adjacent subintimal hematoma and is often associated with aortic wall thickening or enhancement. Magnetic resonance imaging is superior to conventional CT in differentiating acute intramural hematoma from atherosclerotic plaque and chronic ...
Ultrasound Imaging of the Abdominal Aorta: A Comprehensive …
2021年7月2日 · In this review, we highlight the value of ultrasound imaging of the AA; review the anatomy, image acquisition, and measurement protocols; describe the AA's normal flow profile; provide data and illustrations of the various disorders that are detected and/or assessed by two-dimensional (2D), color, and spectral Doppler imaging; discuss the ...

Radiologic evaluation of penetrating aortic atherosclerotic ulcer.
1990年7月1日 · Imaging findings of penetrating aortic atherosclerotic ulcers are also different from those of classic aortic dissection. We have found computed tomography to be especially useful in differentiating between these entities and present several illustrative cases.
Penetrating aortic atherosclerotic ulcer (PAU) is a poorly understood entity that may clinically mimic other causes of acute aortic syndrome but which has imaging features that are distinctly different.1 With the advent of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT), the radiological diagnosis of PAU has increased, and it is frequently identi ed as an

2013年8月1日 · Penetrating aortic atherosclerotic ulcer (PAU) is a poorly understood entity that may clinically mimic other causes of acute aortic syndrome but which has imaging features that are distinctly different. 1 With the advent of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT), the radiological diagnosis of PAU has increased, and it is frequently identified ...
Penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer : Current Opinion in Cardiology - LWW
Penetrating aortic ulcer (PAU) is defined as ulceration of an aortic atherosclerotic plaque penetrating through the internal elastic lamina into the media. With the advances in imaging techniques, the differential diagnosis between PAU and other aortic ulcers remains a challenge. This review aims to summarize the latest insight into PAU, based ...
Aortic Dissection and Other Acute Aortic Syndromes: Diagnostic …
2021年3月1日 · Acute aortic dissection is the prototype of acute aortic syndromes (AASs), which include intramural hematoma, limited intimal tear, penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer, traumatic or iatrogenic aortic dissection, and leaking or ruptured aortic aneurysm. The manifestation is usually sudden and catastrophic with acutely severe tearing chest or back ...
