  • Title: Circumferential intimal tear causing obstruction of the aortic arch: an unusual complication of aortic dissection.
    Author: Reitknecht FL, Bhayana JN, Lajos TZ.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 1988 Jul; 46(1):100-1. PubMed ID: 3289513.
    Abstract:
    A 66-year-old man was first seen because of occlusive disease of the aortic arch vessels secondary to a Type I aortic dissection. At operation, circumferential detachment of the intima was found with intussusception of this flap into the descending aorta causing obliteration of the arch vessels. There has been only one previous report of circumferential intimal intussusception complicating aortic dissection.
