- Multimodality imaging is crucial for accurate diagnosis of TAAD.

## Abstract

•TAAD is a rare and potentially fatal disease.•Aortic dissections have a wide range of common risk factors.•This condition can mistakenly present similar to other acute coronary syndromes.•Clinicians need clinical expertise and proper multimodality imaging for diagnosis.•Misdiagnosis of this condition can be dangerous and fatal to patients.

TAAD is a rare and potentially fatal disease.

Aortic dissections have a wide range of common risk factors.

This condition can mistakenly present similar to other acute coronary syndromes.

Clinicians need clinical expertise and proper multimodality imaging for diagnosis.

Misdiagnosis of this condition can be dangerous and fatal to patients.
