Radionuclide imaging in diagnosis of aortic dissection.
A case of an aortic dissection occurring in a 69-yr-old woman, 4 yr after aortic valve replacement is presented. The clinical context was one of an acute myocardial infarction. The first-pass and gated blood-pool scintigraphy ordered to evaluate cardiac function disclosed unexpected features of an aortic dissection clinically not suspected.
