Prognosis of aortic intramural hemorrhage compared with classic aortic dissection

Am J Cardiol. 2000 Mar 15;85(6):792-5, A10. doi: 10.1016/s0002-9149(99)00867-x.

Abstract

Aortic intramural hemorrhage occurs fairly frequently among patients with aortic dissection, and may not have a poor prognosis if it is Stanford type B. In patients with type A aortic dissection, cardiac tamponade should be ruled out during observation.
