Abstract

Coronavirus disease 19 (Covid-19) has been declared as a pandemic disease since March 2020; causing wide array of signs and symptoms, many of which result in increased mortality rates worldwide. Although it was initially known as an acute respiratory disease, Covid-19 is accompanied with several extrapulmonary manifestations, of which the cardiovascular ones are of major importance. Among other cardiovascular complications of Covid-19, aortic dissection has been a significant yet underrated problem. The pathophysiology of aortic dissection consists of various inflammatory pathways, that could be influenced by Covid-19 infection. We herein have reviewed articles inclusive of aortic dissection concurrent with Covid-19 infection in a systematic manner, along with the probable similarities in pathophysiology of aortic dissection with Covid-19 infection. © 2022 Elsevier Inc.
