Doctors diagnosed an aortic dissection, a condition that affects blood flow and can kill, and ordered an emergency Caesarean section.
Methods: At our hospital, we operated on 200 patients for abdominal aortic aneurysm over a 4-year period, and aortic dissection was the underlying pathology in eight of them.
However, a stent used for the treatment of aortic dissection may be relatively short as the goal is then simply to close the entry point.
