Abstract
Hemorrhagic extension along the pulmonary arteries should be recognized as a complication of Stanford type A aortic dissection. Radiologists and other physicians with an interest in cardiothoracic imaging should be aware of this rare but life-threatening pathology. The anatomical concept of the pathology is outlined in this text, through high-quality electrocardiogram-gated computerized tomography images. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
