    Summary

    Diagnosing aortic dissection is challenging due to varied symptoms and non-specific chest X-rays. Aortography offers high diagnostic certainty and is crucial when results influence patient treatment decisions.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Imaging
    • Diagnostic Radiology

    Background:

    • Spontaneous aortic dissection presents with diverse clinical symptoms.
    • Chest radiographs often show non-specific findings, complicating diagnosis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of angiography for spontaneous aortic dissection.
    • To highlight the importance of aortography in cases influencing treatment.

    Main Methods:

    • Angiography was performed on 48 patients with suspected aortic dissection.
    • Aortography was also conducted incidentally in 14 patients for other indications.

    Main Results:

    • Aortic dissection was confirmed in only 18 of 48 clinically suspected cases.
    • Aortic dissection was incidentally found in 14 additional patients.

    Conclusions:

    • Clinical suspicion and chest radiography have limitations in diagnosing aortic dissection.
    • Aortography provides high diagnostic certainty with minimal risk and is indicated when it impacts treatment.
