ABSTRACT
Background:
Acute aortic dissection is a common life-threatening disorder affecting
the aorta. The immediate mortality rate in aortic dissection is as high
as 1% per hour over the first several hours, making early diagnosis and
treatment critical for survival. Case presentation: We are presenting a
case of Stanford Type A aortic dissection in a 58-year-old male patient
with a history of hypertension. He arrived at the emergency department
(ED) with diagnosed acute coronary syndrome a few hours after a sudden
and severe worsening of his epigastric pain. Interesting case where the
dissection starts from the orifice of the right coronary artery,
occupies the aortic valve. Conclusion: Predictors of follow-up this
cause mortality reflect patient history variables as opposed to
in-hospital parameters or in-hospital complications, which may be
explained by the successful in-hospital treatment of the acute
dissection.
