Endovascular Stent-graft Management of Aortic Intramural Hematomas

Midterm Results of Type B Intramural Hematoma Endovascular Treatment

“…These excellent findings emphasize the low mortality rate in elective endograft management of IMH. In their study, Monnin et al 19 corroborated our results, finding no early mortality and a late death rate of 7%.…”

“…These results corroborate previous reports. Monnin et al 19 found that all their 15 patients had partial or complete regression after a stent graft. As in our study, Sueyoshi et al, 36 after 18 endovascular repair for IMH B, suggest that endovascular treatment can be a useful treatment for complicated ULP.…”

An analysis of initial and follow-up CT findings in intramural hematoma, aortic double-lumen dissection, and mixed type lesions

“…According to Morizumi et al (3), surgical intervention was favored in IMH patients with progressive enlargement of an ulcer-like lesion to more than 20 mm in depth. Stent graft placement is now indicated as a second-line therapy in patients with progression of IMH toward dissection or increasing intimal tear (18).…”

“…IMH lesions in these studies demonstrate either decreased wall thickness or complete regression in some cases. 83,84 …”
