Key result
Spontaneous rupture of the aorta is a rare cause of acute aortic syndrome that frequently leads to sudden cardiac death, as described in two cases with detailed pathological analysis.
Why the study?
Spontaneous rupture of the aorta is a rare cause of acute aortic syndrome frequently leading to sudden cardiac death, with limited detailed pathological descriptions.
Case Report (n=2)
Spontaneous aortic rupture is a rare but critical cause of acute aortic syndrome that frequently leads to sudden cardiac death.
Consider spontaneous aortic rupture in unexplained acute aortic syndrome; case reports leave open need for larger series to guide practice.
Acute aortic syndromes comprise a heterogeneous group of life-threatening disorders, characterized by acute-onset chest or back pain with or without cardiovascular collapse. The major entities include acute aortic dissection, penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer, and intramural hematoma. Spontaneous rupture of the aorta is an additional, rare cause of this syndrome, which frequently leads to sudden cardiac death. This is a report of two cases of this uncommon entity with detailed pathological analysis.
