Abstract
The pulmonary artery dissection (PAD) is a rare and life-threatening event, usually secondary to a chronic pulmonary artery hypertension. We report the case of pulmonary artery dissection undergoing medical treatment by conservative management, discovered by performing a computed tomography (CT), and describe the clinical and therapeutic characteristics with the literature review.
