Endovascular management of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms and acute aortic dissections.

Endovascular management of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms and acute aortic dissections. Vasa. 2018 Nov 08;:1-12 Authors: Hofmeister S, Thomas MB, Paulisin J, Mouawad NJ Abstract The management of vascular emergencies is dependent on rapid identification and confirmation of the diagnosis with concurrent patient stabilization prior to immediate transfer to the operating suite. A variety of technological advances in diagnostic imaging as well as the advent of minimally invasive endovascular interventions have shifted the contemporary treatment algorithms of such pathologies. This review provides a comprehensive discussion on the current state and future trends in the management of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms as well as acute aortic dissections.
