Abstract
We describe the case of a male patient who remarkably survived two severe cardiovascular events: ascending aortic dissection and descending aortic dissection two years later. Later, the third occurrence of aortic dissection, this time involving the abdominal aorta, became an absolute nightmare for the patient, progressively being complicated by periaortic hematoma and severe anemia - events that ultimately led to his death.
