Imaging findings
Type A dissection with a false lumen, involvement of the left main coronary artery, and secondary pulmonary edema.

Aortic dissection can lead to acute heart failure and "stress failure" of pulmonary capillaries, which results in significant alveolar edema without the usual signs of chronic hydrostatic congestion (like effusions).
