  • Title: Aortic dissection with diastolic prolapse of intimal flap into left ventricle.
    Author: Geyik B, Ozeke O, Ozbakir C, Deveci B, Aras D.
    Journal: Eur J Echocardiogr; 2005 Aug; 6(4):311-2. PubMed ID: 15992718.
    Abstract:
    Ascending aortic dissection is often a catastrophic condition. Dissection into the commissures or into an aortic valve leaflet may lead to leaflet avulsion and valvular insufficiency due to a flail valve. We present an image report describing an important and life-threatening complication due to the movement of a partially dehisced intimal aortic flap into the left ventricle causing aortic valve insufficiency in a patient with acute dissection of the ascending aorta.
