A Rare Case of Severe Aortic Regurgitation with Silent Ascending Aortic Dissection

Classically, ascending aortic dissection (AD) presents as sudden, severe chest pain that is tearing type and radiates to the back. Herein, we present a rare case of severe aortic regurgitation with silent ascending AD, which had no chest pain symptoms. The aortic valve apparatus probably masked this AD; therefore, it was not detected by echocardiography and during the surgery.

Aortic Dissection

Aortic dissection is a longitudinal cleavage of the aortic media created by a dissecting column of blood. The term “dissecting aortic aneurysm” has been inaccurately applied to this entity since 1819, when Laënnec first used the term aneurysme dissequant. The term aortic dissection is preferred to dissecting aortic aneurysm because the affected aorta is only rarely aneurysmal. In 1955, DeBakey ...

Localized Aortic Root Dissection Secondary to Contrast Agent Injection: Feasibility of Conservative Follow-up With Echocardiography

Introduction: Iatrogenic aortocoronary dissection (ACD) is a nightmare in interventional cardiology. Although ACD is rarely reported, the real-world prevalence is suspected of being higher due to unreported cases. The right coronary artery (RCA) ostium is involved in the majority of cases, and dissections are usually limited to the aortic sinus in half of the clinical presentat...

Management of Aortic Dissection

Dear Editor, Totonchi et al.’s study (1) explores the account of a 45year old male patient who was using digoxin and warfarin and had undergone an antecedent valve replacement due to aortic insufficiency approximately 35 years before. It is particularly noteworthy that a femorofemoral bypass was performed prior to the Bentall surgery and that no sedative, muscle relaxant, or endotracheal intuba...
