Résumé :

A[TRACE;del] 53-year-old hypertensive patient presenting with acute chest pain was found to have an intramural haematoma (IMH) of both ascending and descending aorta associated with a 6 cm ascending fusiform aortic aneurysm. Six weeks of antihypertensive treatment allowed complete resolution of the intramural haematoma of the descending aorta. Limited surgical repair of the ascending aorta by Gore-Tex graft prosthesis interposition was then performed. The patient was in good health with a one-year follow-up.
