Acute Stanford Type A Aortic Dissection Mimicking Acute Myocardial Infarction: A Hidden Catastrophe Which Should Prompt Greater Vigilance.
UNLABELLED Stanford type A aortic dissection involving the coronary artery ostium and leading to a concomitant acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is an infrequent but life-threatening condition, necessitating a prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Unfortunately, the diagnosis of this entity can be extremely challenging and misdiagnosis is sometimes unavoidable because it usually mimics a ...
متن کاملType A Aortic Dissection Presenting with Inferior ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction.
UNLABELLED Type A aortic dissection with concurrent ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is relatively rare. However, it can be potentially fatal and easily misdiagnosed as STEMI alone. Misdiagnosis will lead to inappropriate administration of anticoagulant and thrombolytic therapy and delayed surgical repair of the aorta. In patients with STEMI, short reperfusion time is associated with ...
متن کاملA Case of Acute Myocardial Infarction due to Left Main Trunk Occlusion Complicated With Aortic Dissection as Diagnosed by Intravascular Ultrasound
A 52-year-old man was transferred to our hospital with a sudden onset of severe chest pains. His electrocardiogram revealed ST-segment elevation suggestive of acute myocardial infarction. Emergency coronary angiography showed subtotal occlusion of left main trunk (LMT) with delayed coronary flow. Because intravascular ultrasound revealed a large intimal flap, we diagnosed aortic dissection invo...
متن کاملTotal Arch Replacement with Stented Elephant Trunk in DeBakey Type I Acute Aortic Dissection
A 67-year-old female patient was treated with conventional total arch replacement and insertion of a stented elephant trunk (SET) graft into the descending thoracic aorta for acute DeBakey type I aortic dissection at one time. She had been treated with right coronary artery stent insertion for acute myocardial infarct 4 days earlier, and at that time, she was diagnosed with acute DeBakey type I...
متن کاملDiagnosis of acute aortic dissection by D-dimer: the International Registry of Acute Aortic Dissection Substudy on Biomarkers (IRAD-Bio) experience.
BACKGROUND D-dimer has been reported to be elevated in acute aortic dissection. Potential use as a "rule-out" marker has been suggested, but concerns remain given that it is elevated in other acute chest diseases, including pulmonary embolism and ischemic heart disease. We evaluated the diagnostic performance of D-dimer testing in a study population of patients with suspected aortic dissection....
متن کاملUnusual presentation and treatment of isolated spontaneous gastric artery dissection
Epigastric pain is a common symptom in the emergency department. Most epigastric pain is not fatal, except in acute myocardial infarction, aortic dissection, and abdominal aneurysm rupture. Epigastric pain can also be the only symptom of isolated spontaneous gastric artery dissection. We report the case of a 51-year-old woman diagnosed with neurofibromatosis who initially presented with only ep...
