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.

Complete Rupture

<p>Management of acute Stanford type A aortic dissection remains a major surgical challenge. Directly cannulating the ascending aorta provides a rapid establishment of cardiopulmonary bypass but consists of risks such as complete rupture of the aorta, false lumen cannulation, subsequent malperfusion and propagation of the dissection.</p><p>We describe a technique of cannulating the ascending aorta in patients with acute aortic dissection that can be performed rapidly in hemodynamically unstable patients under ultrasound-epiaortic and transesophageal (TEE) guidance.</p>
