T-wave abnormality; a chest X-ray noted a widened mediastinum. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) revealed severe aortic regurgitation (AR), and grossly preserved ejection fraction and chest computed tomography (CT; Fig. 1) was consistent with dissection of the root of the thoracic aorta extending to the proximal abdominal aorta at the origin of the celiac trunk.
