French National Observatory of Aortic Syndromes

The study examined the clinical characteristics and conditions of care for patients with acute aortic syndrome (AAS) that will identify patients at risk for increased morbidity and mortality and provide a basis for the eventual achievement of specific studies on the optimal therapeutic management according to different risk profiles. The aim of the Observatory is to provide a photograph "size" of practices in France at present, both in the larger centers than in smaller and optimize diagnostic and therapeutic currently available by the activation pathways of rational management.

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. Etiology of AAS

    Time frame: 1 day

    Measure the respective contribution of each of the etiologies of AAS (aortic dissection type A aortic dissection type B aortic wall hematoma, penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer, aneurysm of the thoracic aorta complicated).

Secondary outcomes

  1. Clinical picture

    Time frame: 1 day

    Identify and define the specific clinical picture of each of these new entities recently dismembered as part of AAS. Indeed, if the clinical presentation of classic aortic dissection A and B is well known, that of other entities, individualized recently, remains poorly described.

  2. Diagnostic tests

    Time frame: 1 day

    Evaluate the performance and the respective roles of the various diagnostic tests including recent acquisitions little or no invasive; Trans thoracic ultrasound, ultrasound and trans esophageal chest scan.
