ABSTRACT

Acute aortic syndromes constitute a group of diseases that carry a high risk of mortality. Including aortic dissection, intramural hematoma and atherosclerotic penetrating ulcer. Current incidence is unknown, since a large number of cases are misdiagnosed or generally diagnosed in post-mortem studies. With the development of new technologies and advances in surgical techniques, survival with this pathology has now increased substantially. It is necessary consider the presence of this entity in order to make a timely diagnosis and also to think about the therapeutic approach that best suits each particular case.
