Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Diagnostic Imaging
  • Thoracic Aortic Disease

Background:

  • Aortic dissection is a life-threatening condition involving a tear in the aorta's inner layer.
  • Acute chest and back pain with loss of consciousness can be presenting symptoms.

Observation:

  • Computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a mass in the aortic arch extending into the descending aorta.
  • Echocardiography confirmed a diagnosis of type I aortic dissection.

Findings:

  • Surgery identified a circumferential intimal tear at the aortic root.
  • An intussuscepted dissection flap was surgically removed from the aortic arch and descending aorta.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of advanced imaging in diagnosing complex aortic dissections.
