Abstract
This study found that CAEAD was associated almost exclusively with type A AD, was typically unilateral, most often on the left, and usually persisted at follow-up. Many CAEAD patients presented with CVA and experienced significant early mortality. Notably, not all CVA events were attributable to the CAEAD. CVAs were not common after admission, and there appeared to be a low risk of new or subsequent stroke during follow-up with routine antiplatelet and antihypertensive therapy.
