Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Aortic intramural hematoma (AIH) is part of the acute aortic syndrome together with aortic dissection and penetrating aortic ulcer. AIH represents up to 12% of acute aortic syndrome cases and has a clinical presentation indistinguishable from that of classic aortic dissection. A patient with AIH is presented and the diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic implications of the disease are discussed.
