    Author: Sabbagh AH, Chung GK, Fritz JM, Fioretti GP.
    Journal: Chest; 1983 Oct; 84(4):493-4. PubMed ID: 6604614.
    Abstract:
    We present the unusual case of a 56-year-old man with acute dissection of the ascending aorta (DeBakey type I) whose presenting symptoms were those of lower gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. Surgical repair was successfully accomplished with resection of the aorta with a Dacron tubular graft combined with aortic valvular replacement after obtaining bowel viability.
