Spontaneous rupture of the ascending thoracic aorta without any history of aneurysm, trauma, infection, dissection, or previous surgery is a very rare and potentially lethal event. We report a case of spontaneous rupture of the ascending aorta treated successfully. While the etiology is still unclear, diagnosis with bedside transesophageal echocardiography prompted emergent surgical intervention.
升主动脉在无任何动脉瘤、创伤、感染、夹层或既往手术史的情况下发生自发性破裂是一种非常罕见且可能致命的事件。我们报告一例成功治疗的升主动脉自发性破裂病例。虽然病因仍不清楚，但床旁经食管超声心动图诊断促使紧急手术干预。
