Key result
Coronary artery bypass grafting with repair of the aortic dissection successfully treated a 46-year-old male with iatrogenic right coronary artery dissection extending to the right coronary sinus.
Case Report (n=1)
Coronary artery bypass grafting with aortic repair is a successful treatment strategy for iatrogenic right coronary artery dissection extending to the right coronary sinus.
May support CABG with aortic repair for iatrogenic RCA dissection; hypothesis-generating from single case report.
Iatrogenic coronary artery dissection extending into the aorta is a rare condition. We report a case in a 46-year-old male patient who had dissection of the right coronary artery which occurred during diagnostic coronary catheterization. The dissection extended retrogradely to affect the right coronary sinus. The patient was treated successfully by coronary artery bypass grafting with repair of the aortic dissection.
