She presented with intractable chest pain and high systolic blood pressure, not responding to opiates. Her computed tomography angiography results showed an acute intra-mural haematoma with a rupture in the descending thoracic aorta. She underwent emergency thoracic endovascular aortic repair. Post-operatively, she recovered fully without any neurological or cardiovascular issues.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The severity of cardiovascular haemodynamic complications arising from the consumption of VEGF inhibitors and from immunotherapy and the lack of anti-hypertensive strategies to adequately manage such events require an unequivocal and urgent assessment of their cardiovascular safety.
