case_images: Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) shows a double-barreled DeBakey type 1 acute aortic dissection with major entry into the ascending aorta (a) and an occluded brachiocephalic artery (b). Carotid ultrasonography shows a floating ball-shaped thrombus in the right common carotid artery (c).

case_images: CT showed a double-barreled ATAAD with a major entry in the ascending aorta and an occluded brachiocephalic artery (Figure 1(a) and (b)). Carotid ultrasonography revealed a floating ball-shaped thrombus in the true lumen of the right common carotid artery (Figure 1(c)).
case_images: Magnetic resonance imaging of the patient. A massive right stroke was seen postoperatively (a). The right middle cerebral artery was occluded from the distal part of M1 (horizontal segment) by a thrombus (b).
