Abstract

Acute type A aortic dissection (AD) has been recognized as a potentially life threatening condition, which sometimes involves the ostium of the coronary artery and may lead to acute myocardial infarction (AMI). In patients with acute type A AD presenting with clinical signs of AMI, it is crucial to establish the diagnosis rapidly in order to proceed with the correct treatment. The present study reports the diagnosis of a rare case of acute type A AD with the typical presentation of acute inferior MI and cardiogenic shock, which was accidentally diagnosed during catheterization and treated by right coronary ostial occlusion stenting, allowing for further surgical interventions.
