A 64-year-old man was hospitalized with severe chest and back pain. A computed tomography (CT) demonstrated an acute type A aortic dissection with cardiac tamponade. Emergency pericardial drainage was performed. Then he was referred to our hospital. An enhanced CT showed an acute type A aortic dissection with thrombosed false lumen. A digital subtraction angiography (DSA) showed no intimal tear and false lumen. He received the medical treatment. Marked elevation of fibrinogen, thrombin-antithrombin III complex (TAT), plasmin-alpha(2) plasmin inhibitor complex (PIC), fibrin degradation products (FDP), and D-Dimer indicated the activation of both coagulation and fibrinolysis in the false lumen. These thrombotic and fibrinolytic parameters were completely normalized 6 weeks after admission. He was discharged in good health 7 weeks after admission.
