Radiological investigations. Sagittal ((a) and (b)) and coronal ((c) and (d)) reconstructions of CT scans, demonstrating type B aortic dissection and elongated aorta before and after TEVAR. The entry tear is demonstrated at the level of thoracic 10. 18-Fludeoxyglucose PET scan (e), demonstrating large vessel vasculitis.

CT angiography demonstrated a type B aortic dissection, extending from the left subclavian artery to the right superior femoral artery (Figures 1(a) and 1(c)). In view of multiple enlarged arteries and his medical history that included GCA and glomerulonephritis, an 18-fludeoxyglucose PET-CT scan was performed, which revealed diffuse uptake in the outer layers of all large vessels (Figure 1(e)).
