Summary

A rare case of spontaneous acute infrarenal aortic dissection, extending to the iliac artery but sparing visceral vessels, was successfully treated with surgery. Diagnosis was confirmed via imaging, avoiding invasive angiography.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Diagnostic Imaging
  • Aortic Diseases

Background:

  • Spontaneous aortic dissection is a rare but life-threatening condition.
  • Infrarenal aortic dissection, particularly without visceral or iliac system involvement, is uncommon.
  • Accurate and timely diagnosis is crucial for effective management.

Observation:

  • A case of spontaneous acute infrarenal aortic dissection is presented.
  • The dissection extended to the right common iliac artery and proximally below the renal arteries.
  • Crucially, the visceral vessels and the main iliac system were not involved.

Findings:

  • Diagnosis was achieved non-invasively using ultrasonography and computed tomography.
  • Angiography was not required for diagnosis.

  • Surgical intervention confirmed the diagnosis and involved prosthetic replacement of the affected aortic segment.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the utility of advanced imaging in diagnosing complex aortic dissections.
    • Non-invasive diagnostic methods can expedite treatment for infrarenal aortic dissections.
    • Surgical repair remains an effective treatment for spontaneous infrarenal aortic dissection.
