Dissecting Aneurysms

Dissecting Aneurysms This is an analysis of 300 cases of dissecting aneurysm of the aorta, including three of the pulmonary artery. A brief and interesting historical introduction is given. There are seventeen cases from the author's own experience, with complete reports and drawings of nearly all the specimens. These are summarized separately. A detailed analysis is made of the entire 300 cases, including the author's. The etiology and symptomatology are described in detail. A feature common to all is degeneration of the middle coat of the vessel, which usually gives way before the inner coat. The cause of the tear is not definitely agreed on, but it is probably the cumulative effect of toxins throughout life. Syphilis is not apparently a factor. This differentiates the ordinary variety from the dissecting type. The dissecting aneurysm usually originates in the ascending aorta, and dissection is often extensive. Death nearly always results from hemorrhage into http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png JAMA American Medical Association
