Aortic intramural hematoma (IMH) is a condition characterized by blood leaking through the innermost layer of the aortic wall and flowing between the inner and outer walls. This leakage does not occur due to a tear in the aortic wall and, because of this, the condition has been difficult to diagnose until recently.
For high-risk type B IMH patients, defined as a maximum aortic diameter >40–45 mm, PAU, hematoma of >10 mm at the initial presentation, progressive hematoma in 2 successive imaging studies, uncontrollable hypertension and therapy refractory pain, a more aggressive treatment strategy is recommended.
The entire aorta divides into two parts: the thoracic aorta and the abdominal aorta. The ascending aorta, along with the aortic arch and the descending aorta, makes up the thoracic aorta.

Aortic dissections are classified into two types: type B dissection involves a tear in the descending part of the aorta and may extend into the abdomen, whereas type A dissection develops in the ascending part of the aorta just as it branches off the heart.
Your aorta is the main artery that carries oxygen-rich blood away from your heart to the rest of your body. The wall of your aorta is made up of three tissue layers — an inner layer (intima), middle layer (media) and outer layer (adventitia).
The aorta is the largest artery in the body and is the blood vessel that carries oxygen-rich blood away from the heart to all parts of the body. The section of the aorta that runs through the chest is called the thoracic aorta and, as the aorta moves down through the abdomen it is called the abdominal aorta.
chest cavityThe entire ascending aorta is located in the chest cavity, known as the mediastinum.
The arch's downward portion, called the descending aorta, is connected to a network of arteries that supplies most of the body with oxygen-rich blood. The upward part of the arch, which is the section closest to the heart, is called the ascending aorta. The part of the aorta in the chest is called the thoracic aorta.

An ascending thoracic aortic aneurysm is bulging and weakness in the wall of the ascending thoracic aorta, which extends up from the top of the heart's left ventricle. The aorta is the largest blood vessel in the body, located in the chest, which delivers blood from the heart to the rest of the body.

There are two types of aortic aneurysm: 1 Thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAA) - these occur in the part of the aorta running through the chest 2 Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) - these occur in the part of the aorta running through the abdomen
An aneurysm is a bulge or "ballooning" in the wall of an artery. Arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood from the heart to other parts of the body. If an aneurysm grows large, it can burst and cause dangerous bleeding or even death.
I71.02 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of dissection of abdominal aorta. The code I71.02 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.

I71.01 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of dissection of thoracic aorta. The code I71.01 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.#N#The ICD-10-CM code I71.01 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like chronic dissection of thoracic aorta, chronic nontraumatic dissection of thoracic aorta, congenital dilatation of aorta, dissection of aortic arch, dissection of ascending aorta and aortic arch , dissection of descending aorta, etc.
Familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection (familial TAAD) involves problems with the aorta, which is the large blood vessel that distributes blood from the heart to the rest of the body. Familial TAAD affects the upper part of the aorta, near the heart. This part of the aorta is called the thoracic aorta because it is located in the chest (thorax). Other vessels that carry blood from the heart to the rest of the body (arteries) can also be affected.
Other vessels that carry blood from the heart to the rest of the body (arteries) can also be affected.In familial TAAD, the aorta can become weakened and stretched (aortic dilatation), which can lead to a bulge in the blood vessel wall (an aneurysm).
The occurrence and timing of these aortic abnormalities vary, even within the same affected family. They can begin in childhood or not occur until late in life. Aortic dilatation is generally the first feature of familial TAAD to develop, although in some affected individuals dissection occurs with little or no aortic dilatation.

An aneurysm is a bulge or "ballooning" in the wall of an artery. Arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood from the heart to other parts of the body. If an aneurysm grows large, it can burst and cause dangerous bleeding or even death.
Aortic aneurysms usually have no symptoms. However, depending on the size, growth rate, and location of these abnormalities, they can cause pain in the jaw, neck, chest, or back; swelling in the arms, neck, or head; difficult or painful swallowing; hoarseness; shortness of breath; wheezing; a chronic cough; or coughing up blood. Aortic dissections usually cause severe, sudden chest or back pain, and may also result in unusually pale skin (pallor), a very faint pulse, numbness or tingling (paresthesias) in one or more limbs, or paralysis.
