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:

    “Our children evaluate themselves based on the opinions we have of them. When we use harsh words, biting comments, and a sarcastic tone of voice, we plant the seeds of self-doubt in their developing minds.... Children who receive a steady diet of these types of messages end up feeling powerless, inadequate, and unimportant. They start to believe that they are bad, and that they can never do enough.”
    —Stephanie Martson (20th century)

    “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)

    “Our major universities are now stuck with an army of pedestrian, toadying careerists, Fifties types who wave around Sixties banners to conceal their record of ruthless, beaverlike tunneling to the top.”
    —Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
