Acute dissection of the ascending aorta. Initial presentation as acute lower GI bleeding

AH Sabbagh, GK Chung, JM Fritz and GP Fioretti

Surgical repair was successfully accomplished with resection of the aorta with a Dacron tubular graft combined with aortic valvular replacement after obtaining bowel viability.
