Abstract
On April 27, 2011, a 42-year-old woman visited our outpatient clinic complaining of dyspnea. Conventional examinations including echocardiography (EC) revealed acute heart failure due to severe aortic regurgitation (AR). The laboratory data showed systemic inflammation (C-reactive protein 4mg/dL). After her emergent admission, contrast-enhanced computed tomography detected the dissection of abdominal aorta at the level of superior mesenteric artery and left renal artery and total occlusion of left subclavian artery, being compatible with approximately 60mmHg lower blood pressure in her left arm than in right arm.
