Abstract

We report a case of DeBakey type IIIb aortic dissection which extended distally through a pre-existing fusiform abdominal aortic aneurysm. The concurrence of aortic dissection and atherosclerotic aortic aneurysm is unusual. Among the various types of this concurrence, aortic dissection extending through a pre-existing aneurysm is rare.

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.

Cardiac Aneurysm

Aneurysm refers to a bulge of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum or within the aorta. In the heart, it usually arises from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. Discover the latest research on cardiac aneurysm here.
