ABSTRACT
Acute aortic dissection is a medical emergency associated
with high mortality, so an early diagnosis based on a dehttp
tailed clinical history, physical examination findings, and
imaging studies is essential for its diagnosis. The treatment
depends on its location, with the recommendation of an
urgent surgical approach for acute type A dissections and
mainly pharmacological treatment in uncomplicated type
B aortic dissection. We present the case of a Mexican male
patient who developed uncomplicated type B aortic dissection,
that was treated with pharmacological treatment
and endovascular aortic repair, and presented an adequate
clinical evolution without complications at discharge or
during follow-up.
