Dissection (medical) - Types

Types

Examples include:

  • Aortic dissection (aorta)
  • Coronary artery dissection (coronary artery)
  • Carotid artery dissection (carotid artery)
  • Vertebral artery dissection (vertebral artery)

Carotid and vertebral artery dissection are grouped together as "cervical artery dissection".

Famous quotes containing the word types:

    “Science is intimately integrated with the whole social structure and cultural tradition. They mutually support one other—only in certain types of society can science flourish, and conversely without a continuous and healthy development and application of science such a society cannot function properly.”
    —Talcott Parsons (1902–1979)

    “He types his laboured column—weary drudge!
    Senile fudge and solemn:
    Spare, editor, to condemn
    These dry leaves of his autumn.”
    —Robertson Davies (b. 1913)

    “If there is nothing new on the earth, still the traveler always has a resource in the skies. They are constantly turning a new page to view. The wind sets the types on this blue ground, and the inquiring may always read a new truth there.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
