A 50-year-old man presented with acute onset of chest pain. Subsequent transesophageal echocardiography and computed tomography scan showed absence of a flap in the ascending aorta and a clear dissection flap involving the arch and descending aorta. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a tear and a small flap in the right coronary sinus. During surgery, we found a total circumferential intimal tear at the sinotubular junction with intimo-intimal intussusception of the internal channel into the arch. Dissection without intimal flap and aortic intussusception is a rare form of type A dissection, which is difficult to diagnose on routine investigations and can delay treatment.

A 51-year-old man presented with acute chest pain and loss of consciousness. Computed tomography showed no intimal flap in the ascending aorta and clear dissection involving the aortic root and arch, as well as the descending aorta. At surgery, the intimal tear was found to be circumferential and dissection extended to the proximal aortic arch with intussusception of the intimal layer. Emergency graft replacement of the ascending aorta was performed successfully and his postoperative course was uneventful.

A 59-year-old patient with chest pain was transferred to our emergency unit. Computed tomography depicted a dissection membrane limited to the aortic root and a seemingly normal ascending aorta. Further downstream stenosis of the descending aorta appeared. Intraoperatively, complete intimal absence in the ascending aorta with intussusception into the descending aorta was evident. Ascending aortic and hemiarch replacement was performed. This rare case should raise the surgeons' awareness that preoperative imaging can differ considerably from intraoperative findings.

A 62-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with sudden chest pain. CT examination showed the presence of an intimal flap in the aortic root and in the descending aorta, with no intimal flap in the ascending aorta and curvilinear filling defects in the aortic arch, and extension into the left subclavian artery. Surgical treatment consisted of ascending aorta replacement. During the operation, the intimal tear was found to be circumferential with intussusception of the intimal layer. The patient died at surgery.

Angiography with a pre-diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome was performed in a 76-year-old female patient presenting to another hospital with symptoms of chest pain and syncope. Upon determination of type III aortic dissection, the patient was referred to our clinic. On CT angiography, the ascending aortic diameter was 57 mm and no dissection flap was observed. There was a filling defect suggestive of intimo-intimal intussusception at the level of the aortic arch, occlusion of the left arteria carotid communis, and a double-channel aorta extending from the left subclavian artery to the iliac artery. On transoesophageal echocardiography, the ascending aorta was seen to be larger than normal and no dissection flap was observed. There were findings suggestive of haematoma and intimo-intimal intussusception at the proximal part of the aortic arch. The dissection flap causing occlusion in the vascular structures was resected. Supracoronary graft replacement of the ascending aorta was performed. Transoesophageal echocardiography is an invasive investigative method with high sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of intimo-intimal intussusception.

In adults, most intussusceptions develop from a lesion, usually a benign or malignant neoplasm, and can occur at any site in the gastrointestinal tract. Intussusception in the proximal gastrointestinal tract is uncommon, and gastro-gastric intussusception is extremely rare. We present a case of gastro-gastric intussusception secondary to a primary gastric lymphoma. An 82-year-old female patient presented with acute onset chest pain and vomiting. Abdominal CT revealed a gastro-gastric intussusception. We performed upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, revealing a large gastric mass invaginated into the gastric lumen and distorting the distal stomach. Uncomplicated gastric reposition was achieved with endoscopy of the distal stomach. Histological evaluation of the gastric mass revealed a diffuse large B cell lymphoma that was treated with chemotherapy.

A 75-year-old woman was admitted to the emergency department with severe and sudden chest pain. Transthoracic echocardiogram showed an unusual case of aortic dissection Stanford Type A with complete circumferential detachment of the ascending aorta intima. An intussusception of the intima flap into the left ventricular outflow tract was also observed. This case presents a very rare surgical treatment involving root repair using tissue adhesives for a left ventricular intimal flap.
