Abstract

Abstract: Acute aortic dissection combined with cardiac tamponade is fatal. The radical treatment is an aortic replacement; however, the risk is high. We suggest conservative treatment with pericardial drainage as a treatment option in elderly patients with comorbidities. Abstract : Acute aortic dissection combined with cardiac tamponade is fatal.
