Aortic dissection is a disease of extreme danger. Pregnancy is an independent risk factor for aortic dissection. Pregnancy concurrent with aortic dissection rarely is seen, not to mention pregnancy concurrent with asymptomatic aortic dissection.</span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>Case report:</strong> We present the case of a 34-year-old female patient, who was 25+ weeks pregnant, concurrent with aortic dissection. She was accepted by our hospital and successfully treated. Retrospective analysis of clinical data was carried out in this paper by combining related literature.</span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>Conclusion:</strong> This disease should be correctly straightened out to prevent misdiagnosis and save the patient’s life. <br />Multidisciplinary joint decisions should be made to save lives of the patient and her fetus.</span></p> ER -
