History and clinical assessment | |||
In all patients with suspected
AAS, pre-test probability assessment is recommended, according to the patient’s condition, symptoms, and clinical features. |
I | B | |
Laboratory testing | |||
In case of suspicion of AAS,
the interpretation of biomarkers should always be considered along with the pretest clinical probability. |
IIa | B | |
In case of low clinical
probability of AAS, negative D-dimer levels should be considered as ruling out the diagnosis. |
IIa | C | |
In case of intermediate clinical
probability of AAS with a positive (point-of-care) D-dimer test, further imaging tests should be considered. |
IIa | B | |
In patients with high probability
(risk score 2 or 3) of AD, testing of D-dimers is not recommended. |
III | C | |
Imaging | |||
TTE is recommended as an
initial imaging investigation. |
I | C | |
In unstabled patients with a
suspicion of AAS, the following imaging modalities are recommended according to local availability and expertise: |
|||
TOE | I | C | |
CT | I | C | |
In stable patients with a
suspicion of AAS, the following imaging modalities are recommended (or should be considered) according to local availability and expertise: |
|||
CT | I | C | |
MRI | I | C | |
TOE | IIa | C | |
In case of initially negative
imaging with the persistence of suspicion of AAS, repetitive imaging (CT or MRI) is recommended. |
I | C | |
Chest X-ray maybe
considered in cases of low clinical probability of AAS. |
IIb | C | |
In case of uncomplicated
Type B AD treated medically, repeated imaging (CT or MRI)e during the first days is recommended. |
