    Abdominal computed tomography scan. Left panel. Arrow 1 points to the false lumen, without a channel between the false lumen and the abdominal aorta. Arrow 2 shows the entry site of the false lumen. Right panel. The entry and exit sites of the false lumen, which extended in a retrograde manner to the abdominal aorta (AA) and involved the inferior mesenteric artery (SMA). Arrow 1 points to the entry site of the false lumen. Arrow 2 shows the exit site within iliac artery (IA).
