title: [Acute aortic dissection during pregnancy. Surgical treatment with maternal and fetal rescue].
abstract: Acute aortic dissection (AD) seldom affects young women, but when it occurs it is, in almost one out of two cases, during pregnancy. We report a case of severe AD during pregnancy in which emergency surgery immediately saved the life of the mother and the foetus. The mother died of cardiac complications 13 days after the operation; the condition of the newborn is satisfactory.
