Author ProfileAbstract
Iatrogenic aortocoronary dissection is a rare but potentially fatal
complication of coronary catheterizations. Although the incidence is
comparatively low, dissection often leads to procedure failure with
increased risk of myocardial infarction and death. Iatrogenic
aortocoronary dissection is principally caused by disruption of intima
at the ostia of the right or left coronary artery during interventional
procedures and appears as luminal filling defects, the persistence of
contrast or intimal tear outside the coronary lumen. Dissection could
propagate in the anterograde direction causing subtotal or total
occlusion of the coronary lumen or extend in the retrograde direction
into the sinus of Valsalva, ascending aorta, aortic arch or descending
aorta resulting in hemodynamic instability. We present a case of Right
Coronary Artery dissection leading to Type-A aortic dissection suffered
during diagnostic coronary catheterization. This required emergency
supracoronary replacement of the ascending aorta with an aortic
interposition tube graft and venous grafts to coronary arteries30 Apr 2020Submitted to Journal of Cardiac Surgery 04 May 2020Submission Checks Completed
