Acute aortic syndrome, aortic dissection, aortic flap.Abstract
Acute Aortic Syndrome (AAS) is a clinical situation including several entities, all of them characterized by a common clinical presentation, the extravasation of blood outside the true aortic lumen. The most common AAS (80%) variant is Aortic Dissection, produced because of an intimal tear and typically located in the ascending thoracic aorta. This entity presents a mortality close to 40-50%. We hereby present the case of a patient with a very illustrative ascending aortic dissection, both from the cardiac image and clinical the points of view.
