Key result
Conservative management with blood pressure control was successful in a 42-year-old man with a rare isolated infrarenal abdominal aortic dissection, who remained stable at 1-month follow-up.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights a rare presentation of isolated infrarenal abdominal aortic dissection in an Asian patient.
May support conservative BP control in select isolated infrarenal aortic dissections; hypothesis-generating for optimal management.
Isolated acute abdominal aortic dissection is a rare condition, accounting for 1.3% of all aortic dissections. It may be classified as iatrogenic, traumatic or spontaneous. To date, only 92 patients have been reported in western literature. All the reports were based on the Caucasian population, and the mean age according to the International Registry of Acute abdominal aortic dissection (IRAD) was 67.7 ± 13.3 years. We report a case of an isolated infrarenal abdominal aortic dissection in a middle age Asian man, and our subsequent management.

Tang et al. (2014) conducted a case report in Isolated abdominal aortic dissection (n=1). Conservative management was evaluated. Conservative management with blood pressure control was successful in a 42-year-old man with a rare isolated infrarenal abdominal aortic dissection, who remained stable at 1-month follow-up.
