Sumario:BACKGROUND: Aortic dissection (AD) is a life-threatening rare condition caused by a tear in the aortic wall which requires urgent surgery. CASE PRESENTATION: 3 Indonesian males obtained a CT angiography (CTA) showing a picture of AD which was confirmed using the Stanford and De Bakey classification. The patient was successful in undergoing TEVAR and open-heart surgery which 2 patients survived and 1 patient died. DISCUSSION: The speed of handling in AD is the key to successful management of AD supported by an understanding of the signs and symptoms and results of thoracoabdominal CTA. CONCLUSION: The ability to interpret CTA results and understand AD sign symptoms is very helpful in minimizing mortality.
