Valve-sparing procedure for acute aortic regurgitation due to intimal intussusception in a minimally localized aortic root dissection

This report highlights a case of acute aortic root dissection resulting in acute AR. The primary cause of AR in this case was the intussusception of the disrupted aortic intima. The dissection was confined solely to the aortic root. The patient underwent successful valve reimplantation, with no postoperative complications. Electrocardiogram-gated CT angiography and transesophageal echocardiography proved valuable in identifying localized aortic abnormalities with precision.
