title: A successful intervention combined with surgical treatment of a pulmonary dissection secondary to an acute type B aortic dissection.
abstract: Pulmonary dissection is an acute, lethal disease to patients. Pulmonary dissection occurs secondary to type B aorta dissection in some cases, as seen in surviving patients with the development of imaging techniques. A patient presenting with pulmonary dissection secondary to an acute type B aortic dissection was treated by proper interventional therapy combined with surgical treatment, which made him survive till now. It is crucial to establish tunica intima laceration position and then design a proper treatment plan rapidly for patients affected by this condition.
