Figure 1. A computed tomography angiogram does not show aortic
dilatation. The dissection remaining in the thoracoabdominal aortic
lesions has a maximum diameter of 38 mm. (a) At the level of the
superior mesenteric artery level, (b) at the level of the renal
arteries, (c) infrarenal level, and (d) at the level of the terminal
aorta.
Figure 2. Computed tomography angiogram reveals a rupture of
the adventitia and a hematoma in the retroperitoneal cavity. (a) At the
level of the superior mesenteric artery, (b) at the level of the renal
arteries, (c) infrarenal level, and (d) at the level of the terminal
aorta. This computed tomography angiogram was obtained one week after
the computed tomography angiogram (Figure 1) was taken.
Figure 3. Postoperative computed tomography scan obtained at
the time of discharge. (a, b) The scan shows the retroperitoneal space
without fluid retention and (c) without any anastomotic complications.
