ExcerptRelevanceReference
"A 65-year-old man with chronic type B dissecting aortic aneurysm, complicated by variant from of angina pectoris without any coronary artery obstructed disease on preoperative angiogram was operated upon through left posterolateral thoracotomy under the left heart bypass with Bio-pump system using preoperative Ca antagonists and intraoperative nitroglycerin infusion."3.68[Successfully treated intraoperative coronary artery spasm in a patient with type B dissecting aortic aneurysm: a case report].

"While nitroprusside is commonly used to treat severe hypertension, it is an extremely toxic drug that should only be used in rare circumstances."2.41The diagnosis and management of hypertensive crises. ( Marik, PE; Varon, J, 2000)
"A case of dissecting aneurysm of the thoracic aorta (De Bakey type III) which first presented as paraplegia of the lower extremities, and the diagnosis of which was confirmed by computerised tomography, is reported."1.27[Dissecting aneurysm of the thoracic aorta with paraplegic onset. Diagnosis using computerized tomography]. ( Arpesani, A; Foresti, V; Gamba, G; Mana, O; Natale, L, 1983)
