Abstract
Introduction: Aortic dissection (AD) is a life-threatening clinical emergency requiring rapid diagnosis and effective intervention to improve patient survival and prognosis. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) can be used to diagnose AD accurately and quickly, making it the rst choice for diagnosing AD in an emergency. Early and accurate diagnosis will save a life. Here we present six cases we faced in sequence over a period of 1 year. A case of extensive dissection involving ascending and descending aorta till left common iliac artery and right proximal femoral artery up to brachiocephalic trunk , left common carotid and left subclavian artery- Stanford Type A/ Debakey Type I , is displayed in detail. Four cases with Stanford type A and one case with Type B Stanford Classication of Aortic Dissection will be discussed here. CTA is the best imaging method for the rapid diagnosis of AD, showing high specicity and sensitivity. Thus, this case series emphasizes the value of CTA as a gold standard diagnostic modality in cases with AD.
