Case Report (n=1)
Highlights a technical pitfall during coronary angiography in acute type A aortic dissection where the guidewire may cross into the false lumen.
Caution required engaging coronaries in acute type A dissection due to false-lumen risk; case report leaves open need for validated protocols.
A pitfall of coronary angiography is described in a patient with acute type A aortic dissection. Initially, the coronary arteries could not be engaged because of the guidewire crossing into the false lumen from the true lumen via the distal dissection flap.
