TI  - Asymptomatic aortic dissection late after aortic valve replacement.
PG  - 177-9
AB  - Aortic dissection (AD) in patient with prostetic aortic valve is a rare but 
      potentially fatal complication. Predictors of the occurrence of AD after aortic 
      valve replacement (AVR) include fragility and thinning of the ascending aorta, 
      aortic dilatation, aortic regurgitation (AR) and high blood pressure before AVR 
      operation. AD is usually symptomatic, but rarely asymptomatic.We presented a case 
      of asymptomatic AD seen in routine echocardiographic examination at 15 years 
      after the AVR surgery.
