[Evaluation of the characteristics of aortic dissection by computed angio-tomography in the Mexican population].

CONCLUSIONS: AD is an emergency in which diagnosis and timely management are essential to improve prognosis. In the sample presented here, a significant association was found in patients with a history of Marfan syndrome and abdominal aneurysms with dissections according to the Stanford classification. The rest of the independent variables did not show any significant association, probably related to the size of the sample. PMID: 30017466 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
