We report a 41-year-old patient with a type B aortic dissection (Stanford) who underwent successful three-vessel percutaneous coronary intervention via the right radial artery approach following a non-ST elevation myocardial infarction. The patient remained asymptomatic at 6 mo follow-up. Trans-radial approach for coronary interventions can be used safely in patients with Stanford type B aortic dissection without increasing the risk of procedure-related complications in this high-risk group of patients.展开更多
文摘Patients with chronic aortic dissections are at high risk of catheter-induced complications. We report a 41-year-old patient with a type B aortic dissection (Stanford) who underwent successful three-vessel percutaneous coronary intervention via the right radial artery approach following a non-ST elevation myocardial infarction. The patient remained asymptomatic at 6 mo follow-up. Trans-radial approach for coronary interventions can be used safely in patients with Stanford type B aortic dissection without increasing the risk of procedure-related complications in this high-risk group of patients.
