Occlusion of a coronary artery by an acute type A aortic dissection presents a life-threatening emergency that is rarely seen and easy to misdiagnose. We present the case of a 75-year-old male who experienced sudden onset of severe left-sided chest pain due to an acute type A aortic dissection that obstructed the right coronary artery. Following an initial misdiagnosis of acute coronary syndrome, imaging revealed the presence of an aortic dissection. An emergency modified Bentall procedure was performed, in which the damaged aorta and aortic valve were replaced.

AbstractPatients presenting with acute onset of chest pain require prompt diagnosis and rapid establishment of a management plan. Acute aortic dissection and acute pulmonary embolism are life-threatening emergencies that can mimic each other at presentation. Correct identification of this uncommon scenario is crucial to initiate the appropriate interventions. The authors present a unique case of concomitant acute type A aortic dissection and acute saddle pulmonary embolism; the patient underwent successful aortic repair and pulmonary embolectomy.
