Aortic dissection is the most common catastrophic condition affecting the aorta. Its clinical presentation is variable and can mimic any number of medical and surgical conditions. The most prevalent symptom is excruciating chest pain. Essential treatment includes rapid initiation of pharmacologic agents to control hypertension.

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 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

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.

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.

Tom Gregory always considered himself relatively healthy despite the fact that he had been diagnosed as having hypertension and told that he had had a heart attack a few years ago. He hadn't spent time in the hospital, so how bad could it have been, he thought. When I first met him, however, that had changed.

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

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

Acute aortic syndrome: aortic dissection—ascending aortic dissection
2018Aortic dissection, intramural haematoma, and penetrating aortic ulcer can each present as an acute aortic syndrome. If left untreated, acute aortic syndrome carries a high mortality. Therefore, rapid diagnostic work-up and appropriate surgical therapy are of utmost importance. Chest computed tomography is the imaging method of first choice.
