Résumé
Type A aortic dissection is a cardiovascular emergency. Its incidence seems to have increased in the last few years; it is not clear whether this is a consequence of the ageing population or better awareness of the diagnosis (Erbel R, Alfonso F, Boileau C, Dirsch O, Eber B, Haverich A et al.; Task Force on Aortic Dissection, European Society of Cardiology. Diagnosis and management of aortic dissection Task Force on Aortic Dissection, European Society of Cardiology. Eur Heart J 2001;15;22:1642-81). Acute type A aortic dissection is often lethal without urgent surgical treatment with mortality rates of around 17% (Conzelmann LO, Weigang E, Mehlhorn U, Abugameh A, Hoffmann I, Blettner M et al. Mortality in patients with acute aortic dissection type A: analysis of pre- and intraoperative risk factors from the German Registry for Acute Aortic Dissection Type A (GERAADA). Eur J Cardiothorac Surg 2016;49:e44-e52). Pheochromocytomas are rare tumours, though often asymptomatic, they could be lethal if left untreated. The incidence is around 0.6 per 100,000 persons per year. The association of both aortic dissection and pheochromocytoma is rare. Here, we report a case of a 36-year-old patient with pheochromocytoma and hypertension, whose delay of surgery due to the Covid-19 pandemic led to acute type A aortic dissection.
