Abstract Aortic dissection (AD) is a life-threatening disease due to a tear in the intimal layer of the aorta within the aortic wall. To compare diagnostic value and imaging of AD between computed ...

Most patients with thoracic aortic aneurysms do not have any symptoms; they are usually diagnosed on imaging studies performed for another reason. Uncommonly, large thoracic aortic aneurysms may cause ...
