The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2017•ElsevierThe wall of a true aneurysm is composed of all histologic layers of the aorta. A false
aneurysm represents a small, contained rupture of aorta followed by bulging of the
corresponding area that is usually sustained by a fibrous peel. Aortic dissection is defined as
a separation of the lamellae of the aortic wall. Herein, we describe an unusual clinical
presentation of aortic dissection in a 37-year-old male patient that presented severe aortic
regurgitation and unusual bulges with linear intimal fissures in ascending aorta underwent …
