Abstract:
:The clinical application of serum biomarkers (d-dimer, C-reactive protein) to predict the natural history of descending thoracic aortic dissection remains elusive. In this review, our current understanding of biomarkers in descending thoracic aortic dissection detection, predicting complications, and aiding in patient management is discussed.
