“…A myriad of manifestations develop due to pressure of the false lumen or its rupture into the surrounding cardiac chambers or great vessels. 50,51 The pulse deficits reported in patients with aortic dissections include a significant difference in the pulse volume (ie, pulse differentials) and BP (ie, BP differentials) in two upper extremities or a sudden loss of a pulse. The presence of pulse differentials is the most specific physical sign of aortic dissection, and it has been reported in 38% of patients with aortic dissections.…”

We report a case of complete atrioventricular block subsequent to thrombosed-type acute aortic dissection. An 81-year-old woman with thrombosed-type acute aortic dissection experienced cardiopulmonary arrest and complete atrioventricular block 6 days after aortic dissection. After temporary pacing, a permanent pacemaker was implanted. Atrioventricular conductivity disorders that result in complete atrioventricular block are rare complications developing after aortic dissection, especially thrombosed-type aortic dissection. We discuss the cause of atrioventricular block subsequent to aortic dissection.
