An Exceptional Case of Aortic Dissection Resulting Left Ventricular Dys- function Related to Dynamic Obstruction of Left Main Coronary Artery
نویسندگان
چکیده
Acute aortic dissections are uncommon but highly mortal emergencies. Atypical presentations can be missed and delayed diagnoses may diminish favourable impact of medical, interventional and surgical procedures. Hereby we describe a painless aortic dissection case presented with heart failure due to functional obstruction of left main coronary artery resulting left ventricular dysfunction by presumptive myocardial stunning.

Retrograde coronary aortic dissection is a rare but dangerous complication of coronary angioplasty. Mostly seen in right coronary artery procedures, especially in chronic total oclussion lesions, and rarely seen in left side procedures. This is a case report of an aortic dissection complicated by coronary angioplasty of the left circumflex artery. Immediate stenting of the left main coronary ar...

The clinical course suggests that the effect of relieving right ventricular outflow obstruction was a reduction of left main coronary artery blood ...

Between 1976 and 1980, 26 patients aged 7 to 36 years had complete replacement of the aortic root with a valved homograft into which the coronary arteries were reimplanted. The main indication was the tunnel type of obstruction combining a hypoplastic valve ring, often with supra and subvalvar stenosis. Nineteen had previous operations for congenital left ventricular outflow obstructions. There...
