Abstract
A 17-year-old boy with a recent diagnosis of COVID-19 infection was admitted with acute chest pain due to type A aortic dissection and was subsequently diagnosed with the Marfan syndrome. Literature shows an increased rate of aortic dissection during flu season. The hypothesis is that a cytokine storm triggers the dissection.
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL
A CT angiogram video of the chest (left) at presentation, showing an 8.8 cm fusiform ascending aortic aneurysm with aortic dissection and (right) after aneurysm repair with a 30 mm Gelweave side branch graft.
