Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Dissection of aorta is a serious condition; the main factors are hypertension and diseases of the connective tissue or of collagen. Aortitis syndrome in combination with hypertension and atherosclerosis in association with ascending aortic dissection is rarely seen. We present the case of a 53-year-old hypertensive patient whose ascending aortic dissection was associated with pericardial effusion without rupture of the aorta and with pleural effusion. Several unusual aspects of transesophageal echocardiography are described. The intraoperative biopsy revealed inflammatory aortitis with mural hematoma, without giant cells. The literature concerning aortic dissection and aortitis is reviewed. |
