| Popis: |
The aortic dissection may be associated with unusual complications such as fistula formation and vascular compression. We describe a case of a 71-year-old patient admitted to our Hospital because of acute chest pain; transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography revealed the presence of a type A aortic dissection associated with a mass infiltrating the right ventricular outflow and proximal tract of the pulmonary artery. The ultrasonographic morphology and the surgical findings showed the presence of a hematoma which was consequent to acute aortic dissection and which mimicked a tumor infiltrating the right ventricular outflow. |
