Spontaneous healing of a descending aortic dissection.
Spontaneous healing of aortic dissection is very rare. A review of the literature has disclosed only four cases [Zeebregts CJAM, Schepens MAAM, Vermeulen FEE. Spontaneous resolution late after aortic dissection: a case report. Eur J Cardiothorac Surg 1997;12:513-515.]. We describe a Type III case in which a spontaneous resolution of the descending aortic dissection was observed.
