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.

Acute aortic dissection is an uncommon but potentially catastrophic illness with high mortality. Significant advances in the understanding, diagnosis, and management have been made since the first reported case of aortic dissection 3 centuries ago. This comprehensive review discusses the pathophysiology, classification, clinical manifestations, early ...

Disease processes affecting the aorta are gaining increasing attention as average longevity of the population in this country increases and as awareness of conditions such as hypertension and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease improves. Aortic dissection is commonly seen as a manifestation of these processes in the aging population and is the most ...

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

"Bloodless aortic dissection" is a rare cause of sudden death due to an aortic dissection without intimal tears and with no blood present within the dissected aortic wall. The first case was described in 1993. Death was considered to be caused by acute myocardial ischemia from dissection involving the left coronary artery.

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.

Painless aortic dissection (PAoD) has been previously linked to poor outcomes. We recently encountered a case of a patient with PAoD presenting with dyspnea; the clue to diagnosis was the presence of a loud aortic diastolic murmur. A systematic review of the literature revealed 86 other cases, 62% of which occurred in men with a mean age of 65 years ...

BMJ, 2011
Acute aortic dissection is caused by an aortic intimal tear with propagation of a false channel in the media. Depending on the site and extent of the tear, it may cause chest, back, or abdominal pain, or collapse caused by rupture or malperfusion (transient or persistent ischaemia of any organ as a result of arterial branch obstruction).
