Sex differences in the histopathology of acute type A aortic dissections
CONCLUSIONS: All ATAAD patients had a significantly thinner intimal layer and significantly diseased middle media compared to the control patients. Our results suggest that the severity of medial aortic pathology is not sex-specific in ATAAD patients. Intimal differences between sexes could however be considered as a potential risk factor for the development of an aortic dissection.PMID:38181821 | DOI:10.1055/a-2239-1741
