Catheterization Procedure

We report a 61-year-old patient who suffered from a type A aortic dissection that mimicked an acute inferior myocardial infarction. During a routine cardiac catheterization procedure, diagnostic catheters can be inserted accidentally into the false lumen. Invasive cardiologists should keep this complication in mind.

Type A Aortic Dissection

Type A aortic dissection is a catastrophic clinical entity involving the ascending aorta. In this case report, a patient was admitted to the emergency room with a presentation resembling acute myocardial infarction (AMI) that led to the inappropriate administration of anticoagulant agents or platelet. This is a case report of a 69-year-old male patient with early misdiagnosis and analysis of type A aortic dissection with discussion on the causes of misdiagnosis in light of the literature.

AbstractType A aortic dissection is a life-threatening condition with a wide range of clinical manifestations. Dissection can sometimes mimic an acute myocardial infarction due to similar presenting symptoms and initial clinical investigations. We report the case of a 52-year-old male who presented with an inferior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction with two drug-eluting stents inserted as a stabilizing intervention prior to surgical repair of an acute aortic dissection.
