摘要:Iatrogenic aortic dissection (IAD) is a rare complication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)[1-4] with an estimated incidence of 0.02%-0.04%.[1,5] IAD occurs more frequently in the setting of urgent PCI for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) (0.19%) than for elective procedures (0.01%).[1] The mortality risk associated with IAD is high (16%) and is comparable to that for spontaneous aortic dissection (16%).[3,4] Urgent surgery is the treatment of choice[1,5]for extensive dissection or hemodynamic instability.In this report,we present a case of severe IAD that was managed conservatively with good clinical outcome.
