Aortic dissection is a life-threatening cardiovascular emergency requiring immediate diagnosis and treatment. It is mainly associated with hypertension and the Marfan syndrome. Diagnosis has been revolutionized by the use of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), which allows for rapid and safe assessment of this condition. Echocardiographic hallmarks

The American Journal of Emergency Medicine, 1999
The presentation of aortic dissection in the emergency department may be more subtle than the classic description of a shocked patient with "ripping" chest pain. The epidemiology, variation in presentation, investigation, and management of aortic dissection are reviewed.

Aortic dissections and dissecting aneurysms
The American Journal of Cardiology, 1972Abstract A review of the history, etiology, pathophysiology, classification, clinical history, physical findings, and laboratory, electrocardiographic and roentogenographic criteria for aortic dissections and dissecting aneurysms is presented. The indications and modes of therapy are discussed as they are being developed and currently practiced.

Proximal Aortic Dissection (Dissecting Aortic Aneurysm) in a Mature Ostrich
Avian Diseases, 2001The gross and histopathologic lesions observed in a case of spontaneous proximal aortic dissection (dissecting aortic aneurysm) in a mature ostrich are reported. At necropsy, a dissecting intramural hematoma was seen in the proximal aorta, extended about 12 cm distally from the aortic valves.

Abstract Anatomically, dissecting aneurysms may be classified into four types: Type I, the most common, originates in the ascending aorta or aortic arch and extends into the descending thoracic aorta and beyond. Type II, the rarest, is confined to the ascending aorta and proximal aortic arch.

Aortic Dissection in Pregnancy
Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2004Aortic dissection is a rare but life-threatening disease. The most common predisposing cause is chronic hypertension.A 38-year-old multipara with chronic hypertension was admitted at 38 weeks of gestation reporting new-onset severe chest pain. Cardiac enzymes, blood gases, electrocardiogram, and chest radiograph were normal.

Aortic Dissection in the Elderly
The Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2008To analyze the characteristics of aortic dissection in the elderly, we reviewed 168 cases from January 1999 to September 2005 in a medical center in Taiwan. Fifty-six cases were suitable for enrollment in our study. Of these, 44 (79%) were male and 12 (21%) were female; ages ranged from 29 to 92 years, with a mean of 61 +/- 11.75 years.

Biomarkers in aortic dissection
Clinica Chimica Acta, 2011Aortic dissection (AD) is a severe cardiovascular disease with high mortality and morbidity, which is characterized by acute onset and rapid progress. Mechanically, it has been considered that circulating blood flows into the media of the aorta through the rupture of the intima forming true and false lumens.

Intraoperative aortic dissection
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1992Intraoperative aortic dissection is a rare but potentially fatal complication of open heart operations. If the dissection is promptly recognized and repaired, however, the outcome may be significantly better. In this study, we reviewed the hospital records of patients with dissection of the aortic arch occurring as a complication of a cardiac operation

SUMMARYWe present 10 cases of intramural aortic dissection. The cases are all characterized by the presence of intramural haematoma without the presence of a patent false lumen. The radiological features and possible aetiologies are discussed. The key radiological finding is the presence of a hyperdense rim in the aortic wall on a non‐contrast‐enhanced
