Recognition and management of ascending aortic dissection complicating cardiac surgical operations

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

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.
