AbstractPatients presenting with acute onset of chest pain require prompt diagnosis and rapid establishment of a management plan. Acute aortic dissection and acute pulmonary embolism are life-threatening emergencies that can mimic each other at presentation. Correct identification of this uncommon scenario is crucial to initiate the appropriate interventions. The authors present a unique case of concomitant acute type A aortic dissection and acute saddle pulmonary embolism; the patient underwent successful aortic repair and pulmonary embolectomy.

Abstract Acute aortic dissection and acute pulmonary embolism are two life-threatening emergencies. The presented case is of an 81-year-old man who has been diagnosed with an acute Stanford type A aortic dissection and referred to a tertiary hospital for surgical treatment. After a successful aortic repair and an overall favourable postoperative recovery, he was diagnosed with cervical and upper extremity deep vein thrombosis and was anticoagulated accordingly. He later presented with massive bilateral pulmonary embolism.
