Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
This report deals with a 28-year-old male patient, admitted with a type A aortic dissection, potentially related to the use of sildenafil. In the literature, we found only two other potentially sildenafil-related cases of aortic dissections, one type A and one type B. In our patient, a bicuspid aortic valve and an ascending aortic aneurysm were other underlying anomalies that could have led to the aortic dissection. |
