CTICasesLimited Type A Aortic Dissection and Stent Complication
Imaging findings
A non-gated CT scan showed a small Type A aortic dissection near a newly placed right coronary artery (RCA) stent. The stent appeared to be protruding into the aortic lumen.
Key takeaways
Limited dissections can be subtle and easily dismissed as motion artifact on non-gated studies. Ancillary findings, such as contrast tracking into the shared sheath of the pulmonary artery, support the diagnosis.
