Isolated aortic dissection during coronary intervention: rare but challenging

Authors: Ankush Moza, AbdurRahman Al-Hudaif, Mujeeb Sheikh

Published in: Cardiovascular Intervention and Therapeutics | Issue 4/2016

Abstract

Catheter-induced aortic dissection without involvement of the coronary arteries is an extremely rare complication of percutaneous coronary intervention. Management strategies vary depending on clinical scenarios, however, the choice of strategy prompt recognition and early aggressive management is key to patient outcomes.
