Spontaneous echo contrast in the Descending Aorta in patients without aortic dissection: associated clinical and echocardiographic characteristics.
International journal of cardiology, 2003Co-Authors: Cihangir Kaymaz, Nihal Ozdemir, Cevat Kirma, Mehmet OzkanAbstract:The objective of the study was to evaluate the frequency, clinical and echocardiographic correlates of spontaneous echo contrast in the Descending Aorta in the absence of dissection. Prevalence of spontaneous echo contrast in the Descending Aorta in the absence of dissection, and its clinical and echocardiographic correlates were investigated in 1199 consecutive patients who underwent transesophageal echocardiography. Spontaneous echo contrast in the Descending Aorta was detected in 54 (4.5%) patients. Patients with spontaneous echo contrast in the Descending Aorta had an older age (60.6+/-8 vs. 40.6+/-14.2 years, P=0.0001), an increased prevalence of male gender (66.7 vs. 43.9%, P=0.001), an increased diameter of ascending Aorta (4.2+/-1.0 vs. 3.3+/-1.1 cm, P=0.0001), an increased diameter of Descending Aorta (3.1+/-0.9 vs. 2.1+/-0.4 cm, P=0.0001), a higher prevalence of aortic wall calcification (9.3 vs. 0.5%, P=0.00001), complex plaque in the Descending Aorta (13 vs. 0.7%, P=0.0001), left ventricular dysfunction (7.4 vs. 2.1%, P

Shear rate, diameter of the Descending Aorta, aortic wall calcification, complex plaque in the Descending Aorta, absence of severe aortic regurgitation and male gender were independent variables of spontaneous echo contrast in the Descending Aorta. Spontaneous echo contrast in the Descending Aorta is a local and flow-dependent phenomenon related to aortic dilation, atherosclerosis, and decreased shear rates in the Descending Aorta. However, in this study, spontaneous echo contrast in the Descending Aorta was not found to be associated with embolic events.

Surgical treatment of the pathology of the Descending Aorta. Aneurysm and dissection
Revista espanola de cardiologia, 1996Co-Authors: Lisbona Sabater C, Ruz Sastre CAbstract:Aortic aneurysm and dissection of Descending Aorta have to be rapidly diagnosed and treated. The treatment frequently includes surgery. The natural history, indications of surgical treatment and surgical technique are reviewed.
