We report the case of a 67-year-old man who presented to the emergency room for a Stanford A-rated thoracoabdominal aortic dissection. Aortic dissection it's defined by intimal detachment with the creation of a false circulating channel. The diagnosis it's based on transthoracic echocardiography and cross-sectional imaging for hemodynamically stable patients. The treatment is surgical; the prognosis is reserved.
