title: [A case of painless Standford type A acute aortic dissection complicating acute occlusion of the right subclavian artery].
abstract: We reported about a rare case of painless Stanford type A acute aortic dissection with the only complaints being numbness and paleness in the right arm. A 68-year-old male who hed been treated in another hospital under the diagnosis of acute occlusion of the right subclavian artery was referred to our hospital because of severe heart failure and shock. After being admitted to our hospital, the patient was diagnosed as Standford type A acute aortic dissection with transesophageal echocardiography and underwent an emergency graft replacement of the ascending aorta and total aortic arch. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged without any complications.
