Figure 1 The photograph demonstrates extensive bowel necrosis resulting from compromised blood flow due to aortic dissection. Key findings include: Small intestine necrosis (indicated by the purple arrow) involving the duodenum (marked by the yellow arrow); necrosis of the ascending colon and the right half of the transverse colon (highlighted by the blue arrow); properly perfused stomach (indicated by the green arrow); and viable left half of the transverse colon and descending colon (marked by the pink arrow). This image illustrates the extent of ischemic injury caused by the dissection, with clear demarcation between necrotic and perfused bowel segments.
