Acute aortic dissection during pregnancy is a rare but serious condition. Early diagnosis and tailored management are crucial for improving outcomes in pregnant patients with this cardiovascular emergency.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Medicine
  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Medical Diagnostics

Background:

  • Acute aortic dissection (AAD) is a life-threatening condition with high mortality, particularly during pregnancy.
  • Diagnostic challenges and limited invasive study options complicate AAD management in pregnant individuals.
  • Existing literature lacks definitive guidelines for clinical and surgical approaches to AAD in pregnancy.

Observation:

  • A case of acute aortic dissection is presented in a patient at 33 weeks of gestation.
  • The diagnostic process considered the unique clinical presentation of AAD during pregnancy.
  • Management strategies were adapted to the specific circumstances of pregnancy.

Findings:

  • The case highlights the diagnostic complexities of acute aortic dissection in pregnancy.

  • Successful diagnosis was achieved despite limitations in invasive procedures.
  • The study underscores the need for individualized treatment plans.

    • Implications:

    • This case contributes to the limited body of knowledge on managing aortic dissection in pregnancy.
    • It emphasizes the importance of a high index of suspicion and advanced imaging for prompt diagnosis.
    • Further research is needed to establish evidence-based guidelines for AAD in pregnant populations.
