Aortic dissection is a rare life-threatening condition that typically presents with acute onset of severe chest, abdominal, or back pain. Some patients might present with atypical symptoms and findings, such as neurological syndromes, making it difficult to make the diagnosis. Here, we report a case of a painless acute aortic rupture over an already existing Stanford type A chronic aortic disse...

In patients with acute type A aortic dissection, intimal detachment associated with circumferential dissection of the left main coronary artery (LMCA) is a rare but lethal complication. We report a Marfan patient with dissection and intimal detachment of the LMCA that was caused by acute aortic dissection involving the left aortic sinus and that was reconstructed using a short reversed saphenou...

Brain stroke connected with aortic blood flow disturbances is a rare disease and its incidence is difficult to assume. Nevertheless, 10-50% of patients with aortic dissection may not experience any pain. In case of 18-30% patients with aortic dissection neurological signs are first disease presentation and among them ischemic stroke is the most common. The most popular aortic dissection classif...

acute aortic dissection (aad) is the most frequent catastrophic event of the aorta; it occurs nearly three times as frequently as the rupture of abdominal aortic aneurysm . sixty percent of dissection cases are classified as proximal or type a and 40% as distal or type b, according to the stanford classification. the most frequent causes of death in acute type b dissection are aortic rupture an...

Right-sided aortic arch is a rare anomaly, and aortic dissection involving a right-sided aortic arch is extremely rare. We report the case of a 65-year-old man with a right-sided aortic arch and a right descending aortic dissection and a stent-graft was accurately deployed without perioperative complications. There were no any complaints and complications after 18 months follow-up. The CTA demo...

Although a right-sided aortic arch is not a rare anomaly, an aortic dissection involving an isolated right-sided aortic arch is extremely rare and remains a complicated entity for surgical therapy because of its anatomical characteristics. Previous reports that we have identified in English literature include only six surgical cases of aortic dissection involving a right-sided aortic arch. We r...

Aorto-right ventricular fistula is a very rare complication of aortic dissection. We report a case of acute aortic dissection extending into the right ventricle as documented by echocardiography. The patient survived after successful surgical repair.

Aortic dissection involving a right-sided aortic arch (RAA) is extremely rare with an incidence in adults of 0.04% to 0.1%. Thoracic aortic dissection associated with RAA is even a more uncommon and life-threatening condition. For complicated aortic dissection, conventional open surgical repair is considered a standard therapy. However, in such cases, endovascular repair has emerged as the proc...

INTRODUCTION Aortic dissection is a rare event. While the most frequent symptom is chest pain, that is a common emergency department (ED) chief complaint and other diseases causing chest pain occur much more often. Furthermore, 20% of dissections are without chest pain and 6% are painless. For these reasons, diagnosing dissections may be challenging. Our goal was to determine the number of tota...

Aortic dissection is a rare and a life threatening event. Classically, aortic dissection presents as sudden, severe chest, back or abdominal pain that is characterized as ripping or tearing in nature. However, a timely diagnosis can be elusive in the event of an atypical presentation. So, a high index of clinical suspicion is mandatory for the accurate and rapid diagnosis of aortic dissection. ...
