For pregnant women with thoracic back pain and high suspicion of aortic dissection, CTA should be conducted promptly to prevent missed or delayed diagnosis. Maternal survival should be prioritised over foetal outcome once diagnosed. TEVAR was demonstrated to be safe and feasible for such patients. For women with complicated type B aortic dissection in late pregnancy, TEVAR followed by C-section may be a promising treatment strategy.
