Superior mediastinal obstruction with aortic dissection after aortic valve replacement. Diagnosis by computed tomography.

In two patients aortic dissection occurred as a late complication of aortic valve replacement and caused superior vena caval obstruction. The dissection and superior vena caval obstruction were diagnosed by computed tomography.
