Article Synopsis
- Aortic dissection (AD) is a serious, uncommon complication in patients with a prosthetic aortic valve.
- Risk factors for developing AD post-aortic valve replacement (AVR) include a weakened ascending aorta, aortic dilation, aortic regurgitation (AR), and high blood pressure prior to surgery.
- The case presented discusses an instance of asymptomatic AD discovered during a routine echocardiogram 15 years after the patient underwent AVR surgery.
