Abstract
We report a case of a 39-year-old man with extensive left atrial compression by a dissecting aneurysm of the ascending aorta. Presumably this compression caused hypotension. A dissecting aneurysm of the ascending aorta, limiting left ventricular inflow by left atrial compression, has not been described in English-language medical literature before.Entities:
