Key result
Intravascular ultrasound-guided primary PCI successfully relieved acute coronary occlusion caused by an extending aortic intramural haematoma, serving as an effective bridge to emergency cardiac surgery.
Why the study?
Stanford type A acute aortic syndromes can be complicated by acute coronary closure and STEMI, leading to significant morbidity and mortality, while the recommended treatment is emergency cardiac surgery.

IVUS may clarify coronary involvement in type A AAS with STEMI; leaves open its routine role pending larger studies.
Case Report (n=1)
In selected cases of acute aortic syndrome complicated by STEMI, emergency IVUS-guided PCI can safely restore coronary flow and serve as a bridge to definitive cardiac surgery.
Sen et al. (2022) conducted a case report in Anterior STEMI complicating acute aortic syndrome (n=1). Intravascular ultrasound-guided primary PCI was evaluated on Successful bridge to emergency cardiac surgery and survival. Intravascular ultrasound-guided primary PCI successfully relieved acute coronary occlusion caused by an extending aortic intramural haematoma, serving as an effective bridge to emergency cardiac surgery.
