A patient developed intestinal ischemia following cardiac catheterization, which was subsequently diagnosed as a DeBakey type I aortic dissection requiring emergency surgery.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights a rare case of DeBakey type I aortic dissection presenting as intestinal ischemia following cardiac catheterization.
Aortic dissection should be considered in post-catheterization intestinal ischemia; case report leaves open incidence and prevention strategies.
REPORTcoronary artery.After final confirmation using angiography and transthoracic echocardiography, the examination and treatment were completed.The patient complained of abdominal pain early the following morning and was also found to have bloody stools.Suspecting gastrointestinal bleeding associated with antithrombotic therapy, a simple abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan was performed, which revealed abdominal aortic dissection and edema of the ascending colon.A contrastenhanced CT scan of the thorax and abdomen was performed (Fig. 1), which revealed a DeBakey type I aortic dissection with false lumen patency and malperfusion of the superior mesenteric artery, necessitating emergency surgery.A preoperative CT scan showed no entry, and transesophageal echocardiography after 1,

Hirano et al. (2025) conducted a case report in DeBakey Type I Aortic Dissection (n=1). Cardiac Catheterization was evaluated. A patient developed intestinal ischemia following cardiac catheterization, which was subsequently diagnosed as a DeBakey type I aortic dissection requiring emergency surgery.
