1. Fig. 5. A 75-year-old woman with severe aortic stenosis and aortic dissection managed by aortic valve replacement and ascending aorta and hemiarch replacement. After 17 days, she developed chest pain and fever. On computed tomography, a small amount of fluid with peripheral thick enhancement and multiple air densities suggesting mediastinitis with complicated fluid collection are visible in the anterior mediastinum and around the ascending aorta. Remaining dissection with preserved false lumen flow (asterisk) is noted in the descending thoracic aorta. The patient recovered after intensive antibiotic treatment. AO: aorta, PA: pulmonary artery.
