Background: Acute aortic dissection is a rare but serious and life-threatening disease. The main symptom chest pain, in some patients, atypical symptoms are also observed. Case presentation: In this report, we reported patient diagnosed with symptoms. has been referred nausea vomiting. After thorough examination, the diagnosis of acute was established. Conclusion: Aortic may have no typical dee...

Marfan syndrome is an autosomal dominant inherited disorder of connective tissue, with various complications manifested primarily in the cardiovascular system. It potentially leads to aortic dissection and rupture, these being the major causes of death. We report a patient who complained of acute abdominal pain, which presented as acute mesenteric ischemia combined with abdominal aortic dissect...

Stanford type A acute aortic dissection (AAD) is a very rare complication, with potentially lethal consequences in pregnancy. In fact, pregnancy has been regularly associated with the possibility of aortic. dissection in almost half of young women. Herein, we present the case of a 38-year-old woman in her 37th week of pregnancy. The patient’s medical history was indicative of G4L2Ab1(4 gestaiti...

Acute aortic dissection is an uncommon disorder which can have fatal results in the event of treatment delay or misdiagnosis. This case examines a 77-year-old woman presenting with chest pain relieved by nitroglycerin. She was referred to the emergency room with clinical suspicion of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, she was later diagnosed with acute aortic dissection and an emergency op...

Acute chest pain in hypertensive patients presenting to the emergency room constitute a wide spectrum of life threatening conditions including an acute aortic dissection. Acute Aortic syndromes constitute uncommon but lethal identities, with high morbidity and mortality requiring a high index of suspicion, appropriate diagnostic tools and urgent line of management. The authors are reporting a c...

The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery • Volume 123, Number 2 369 I n surgery for acute aortic dissection, the choice of appropriate arterial access for cardiopulmonary bypass is sometimes difficult because of dissection in large branches of the aorta. We report the efficacy of transapical aortic cannulation in acute type A aortic dissection in a patient with diffuse atherosclerotic...

The clinical manifestations and natural history of acute aortic intramural hemorrhage are not well characterized. Therefore, we have evaluated the differences in the clinical features and prognosis between acute intramural hemorrhage and acute classic aortic dissection. One hundred two consecutive patients with acute aortic syndrome were diagnosed between November 1994 and May 1999. The clinica...

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...

Background Acute aortic dissection is one of the most dreaded clinical conditions during pregnancy. The limited experience reported in the literature does not allow the determination of guidelines for surgical management of aortic dissection in these cases. In this case presentation we successfully treated a 27-year-old woman with Marfan syndrome in the 36th week of pregnancy with acute type A ...

We reported simple partial root remodeling using a graft trimmed twin "U" shape for extensive dissection into the right/non-coronary sinuses with acute type A aortic dissection with cardiac tamponade, acute myocardial infarction on the right coronary artery and aortic regurgitation. After total arch replacement with frozen elephant trunk technique for distal dissection, partial root remodeling ...
