A case of a 35-year-old woman with acute circumferential type B aortic dissection is presented. A review of the literature demonstrated that circumferential aortic dissection is limited to a small number of case reports and a small case series of type A lesions. This is the first report of a circumferential type B dissection. The case highlights the need to fully evaluate patients with acute aortic dissection and illustrates the unique data provided by transesophageal echocardiography and helical computed tomographic angiography.
本文报道了一例35岁女性急性B型主动脉夹层病例。文献回顾显示,环形主动脉夹层仅限于少数病例报告和一小系列A型病变病例。这是首例B型环形夹层的报告。该病例强调了对急性主动脉夹层患者进行全面评估的必要性,并展示了经食管超声心动图和螺旋计算机断层血管造影所提供的独特数据。
