Emergency aortic resection and root reconstruction resolves acute type A dissection with ST-elevation and tamponade.
Case Report (n=1)
No
Prompt echocardiographic diagnosis and emergency surgery can successfully treat acute type A aortic dissection even when presenting with confounding signs like ST segment elevation and pericardial tamponade.

Supports echocardiography in STEMI with tamponade to identify dissection; case-level data leave broader applicability open.
Pólos et al. (2014) conducted a case report in Acute type A aortic dissection with pericardial tamponade and ST segment elevation (n=1). Emergency cardiac surgery (resection of ascending aorta and reconstruction of aortic root) was evaluated on Survival and clinical outcome. Emergency surgical resection of the ascending aorta and aortic root reconstruction successfully treated an acute type A aortic dissection presenting with ST-segment elevation and pericardial tamponade.
