Iatrogenic aortic dissection caused by primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a rare but potentially fatal complication; therefore prompt recognition of this life-threatening condition is crucial. We present herein a case of a 70-year-old lady who underwent primary PCI for transmural myocardial infarction of left anterior descending artery territory. Manipulation of the extra backup (EBU) guiding catheter during an attempt to cannulate the left system resulted in an aortic dissection. The patient was managed conservatively with strict monitoring in the coronary care unit (CCU), and underwent serial evaluation with non-invasive imaging studies including a computed tomography angiography (CTA). On the 3rd post-procedure day, she developed cerebrovascular accident from which she recovered completely. Repeat CT angiogram showed complete resolution of the ascending aortic dissection. Initial follow-up was conducted at 2 weeks and the patient was doing well. |
