Abstract EN
Introduction : Aortic dissection is a rare condition in young women and usually related with congenital anomalies of aorta and connective tissue disorders.
We reported a 34-year-old postpartum woman with aortic dissection.
Case Presentation : The patient complained of respiratory distress and weakness with no abdominal pain or chest pain 20 days after delivery and had no history of hypertension during pregnancy and perinatal or prior heart disease.
Postpartum cardiomyopathy and left ventricular dysfunction were diagnosed by imaging study and cardiac enzyme level.
Finally, CT-scan was performed and showed aortic dissection.
The patient underwent surgery and after surgery, she was alive without any problem.
Conclusions : Patients with peripartum cardiomyopathy and aortic dissection could be cured with good medical care.
