Iatrogenic dissections of coronary artery and aorta is a rare and potentially fatal event, often following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The prognosis of patients often depends on early accurate diagnosis and timely and effective treatment. There are no definite guidelines for the treatment of acute coronary artery dissection caused by PCI. Here, we report a 50-year-old patient with iatrogenic dissection of the right coronary artery and type A aortic dissection who underwent PCI for chest pain. We performed emergency surgery of right coronary artery ostium repair, aortic valvoplasty, ascending aorta replacement, and aortic arch descending stent implantation for the patient. The operation went smoothly, and the patient successfully was discharged two weeks after the operation.
