Pulmonary artery dissection complicating aortic dissection in a patient with bicuspid aortic valve and aortic coarctation.
Radiology Case Reports 2017 September
We report a case of a type A aortic dissection with extension into the main pulmonary artery through a sinus of Valsalva fistula. Echocardiography and computed tomographic angiography of the chest were performed and bicuspid aortic valve, hemopericardium, and dilatation of the aortic root were found. A Stanford type A dissection was seen, extending to the distal transverse thoracic aorta, and there was a communication between the dissection at the left sinus of Valsalva and the main pulmonary artery, where a dissection flap was detected at computed tomographic angiography. This case report reviews the rare diagnosis of pulmonary artery dissection, multimodality imaging findings, and a brief review of etiology and management.
