Key result
Diastolic prolapse of a partially dehisced intimal aortic flap into the left ventricle caused life-threatening aortic valve insufficiency in a patient with acute ascending aortic dissection.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights a rare and life-threatening complication of ascending aortic dissection involving diastolic prolapse of an intimal flap into the left ventricle causing severe aortic insufficiency.

May alert clinicians to rare AR mechanism in dissection; extends flap dynamics insights but leaves open prevalence and management.
Geyık et al. (2005) conducted a case report in Acute dissection of the ascending aorta (n=1). Diastolic prolapse of intimal flap into left ventricle was evaluated on Aortic valve insufficiency. Diastolic prolapse of a partially dehisced intimal aortic flap into the left ventricle caused life-threatening aortic valve insufficiency in a patient with acute ascending aortic dissection.
