Abstract
Description
The problem of aortic dissection remains relevant to date due to the difficulty of diagnosis and poor prognosis-fatal outcome. In type II aortic dissection, the pain is usually localized behind the sternum and simulates an acute myocardial infarction. This situation is especially often observed in cases where the dissection actually extends to the root of the aorta and contributes to the compression of the coronary arteries, and according to H Borsi, the most common pain syndrome in type I aortic dissection according to De Bekey has to be differentiated from the process of dissection of coronary vessels and thus disorders of coronary circulation.
