Abstract: The aortic dissection (AD) carries high mortality which increases by 1%-2% per hour after onset in untreated patients. Fifty percent of patients will die in 48 hours, and 70%-80% patients will die in 2 weeks without treatment. Moreover, acute AD during pregnancy is a rare and much catastrophic disease with high lethality for the mother and fetus simultaneously. At present, AD is so rare that most articles are mainly small cohort studies and case reports. Therefore, we reviewed literatures in order to provide clinical reference for the comprehensive treatment of AD.
