Percutaneous Coronary Intervention as a Bridge Therapy for Aortic Dissection Related Bilateral Coronary Malperfusion: A Case Report.

Abstract

Dealing with coronary arteries caused by aortic dissection remains a great challenge in the treatment of aortic dissection. Here, we present the case of a 57-year-old woman, who initially detected chest pain, and electrocardiography showed ST-elevation myocardial infarction. After the primary percutaneous coronary intervention, aortic dissection was accidentally detected. She then received central repair and had a satisfactory outcome. We proved that percutaneous coronary intervention as a bridge therapy for aortic dissection-related coronary malperfusion might be efficient.
