Abstract
Aortic dissection is an absolute cardiovascular emergency, its diagnosis has benefited from the development of modern imaging techniques including transoesophageal echocardiography, CT scan and Magnetic resonance angiography, its management can be medical, surgical or interventional depending on the type of the dissection and the potential associated complications. Thanks to its recent development, aortic stent-grafting technique is now extending its indication to high-risk patients even before clinical complications in order to prevent their occurrence. We present the clinical case of a patient admitted for uncomplicated type B aortic dissection with a contraindication to beta-blockers who successfully underwent a stent-graft implantation with positive outcome.
