Iatrogenic Aortic Injury (Cath)

Imaging findings

Contrast extravasation into the aortic/pulmonary adventitial sheath following catheterization, which may be misidentified as a dissection flap.

Key takeaways

Be cautious of the "pitfalls" of virtual non-contrast imaging; verify findings with true non-contrast studies to distinguish cath-related contrast from hematoma.
