1 Aortic dissection coexistent with two saccular aneurysms
Hitoshi Hirose, MD, FICS, Lars G Svensson, MD, PhD  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 76, Issue 4, Pages (October 2003) DOI: /S (03)

2 Fig 1 Enhanced computed tomography scan of the chest shows the aortic dissection in the ascending aorta. The dissection flaps were thin and reproduced poorly but are seen near the left main ostium (arrow). The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (03) )

3 Fig 2 Enhanced computed tomography scan of the chest shows the presence of saccular aneurysms: one on the greater curvature of the aorta just distal to the left subclavian artery (long arrow) and another in the lesser curvature just proximal to the left subclavian artery (short arrow). Note the dissection flap septum in the middle of the distal ascending aorta and how the dissection flap terminates at the base of the proximal saccular aneurysm.
