Hemoptysis, or coughing up blood, is a rare but serious complication of acute aortic dissection. Prompt surgical intervention for ascending aortic replacement in this case led to a positive clinical outcome.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Thoracic Medicine
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Acute aortic dissection is a life-threatening condition involving a tear in the aorta's inner layer.
  • Hemoptysis is an uncommon but critical symptom associated with aortic dissection.

Observation:

  • A 77-year-old female presented with epigastric pain and hemoptysis.
  • Computed tomography revealed Stanford A acute aortic dissection with a significant posterior mediastinal hematoma.

Findings:

  • The mediastinal hematoma extended towards the right pulmonary artery, correlating with the hemoptysis.
  • Emergency ascending aortic replacement was successfully performed.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of recognizing hemoptysis as a potential sign of acute aortic dissection.
