Fig 1 (A, B) Contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan revealed Stanford type A aortic dissection extending from the ascending aorta to the iliac bifurcation. The (C) celiac artery, (D) superior mesenteric artery, and (E) left renal artery were compressed by the thrombosed false lumen. (F) The ratio of the maximum diameter of the superior mesenteric vein (white arrowhead) to that of the superior mesenteric artery (black arrowhead) was less than 1.0.
