Stanford type A acute aortic dissection (AAD) is a life-threatening illness that presents with chest pain and hemodynamic instability. Prompt and accurate evaluation and management are critical for survival as it is a cardiac surgical emergency. We aim to highlight the physicians about this potentially fatal condition, by reporting two cases of Stanford type A AAD, with atypical presentations that were initially misdiagnosed.
斯坦福A型急性主动脉夹层(AAD)是一种危及生命的疾病,表现为胸痛和血流动力学不稳定。由于它是心脏外科急症,迅速而准确的评估和处理对于生存至关重要。我们旨在通过报告两例斯坦福A型AAD病例,其具有非典型表现且最初被误诊,以此让医生们关注这种潜在致命疾病。
