Imaging findings
Aortic dissection with an entry tear in the proximal descending aorta, likely caused by the tip of an intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP).
Key takeaways
IABPs can cause focal dissection or pseudoaneurysms. If a patient experiences worsening chest pain after IABP placement, evaluate for mechanical injury to the aorta.
