For more detail: http://www.annalscts.com/article/view...

This is a case of a patient who presents with acute type B aortic dissection (ABAD) and malperfusion is in his fifth or sixth decade of life, with a history of hypertension and an acute moment of chest pain and left leg pain. He then develops associated abdominal pain and persistent left leg pain with diminishing sensation and movement. This type of patient requires urgent intervention, with the currently preferred modality of treatment being thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR).
