Hemoptysis is a rare complication of acute aortic dissection. A 77-year-old woman was admitted to our department with epigastralgia and hemoptysis. Computed tomography showed Stanford A acute aortic dissection and massive posterior mediastinal hematoma which extended along the right pulmonary artery. Hemoptysis is a lethal sign of aortic dissection, therefore, emergency ascending aortic replacement was performed with a good clinical outcome.
