Patients with acute aortic dissection present with such varied symptoms that diagnosis becomes difficult. Various imaging techniques like computed tomography angiography (CTA), magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasonography are used to diagnose this entity, but they too have their limitations. We present a case, which was falsely diagnosed as acute aortic dissection by CTA, which resulted in patient undergoing sternotomy.
急性主动脉夹层患者的症状多种多样，这使得诊断变得困难。各种成像技术，如计算机断层扫描血管造影（CTA）、磁共振成像和超声检查，被用于诊断这一病症，但它们也有其局限性。我们报告一例病例，该病例被CTA误诊为急性主动脉夹层，导致患者接受了胸骨切开术。
