Abstract

ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) caused by an acute aortic dissection is relatively rare. A diagnosis of dissection can be missed and the situation can become complicated. We report a patient who presented with acute aortic dissection responsible for STEMI related to a dissecting flap into the right coronary artery. This case emphasizes the need for careful assessment of the aorta in cases of atypical coronary occlusion in patients with STEMI without evidence of atherosclerosis in non-culprit coronary segments. The patient was discharged 7 days after primary percutaneous intervention for STEMI. However, she revisited the emergency department for recurrent chest pain and aortic dissection and was diagnosed and managed successfully with surgery.

가슴 통증을 호소한 환자가 심전도에서 ST분절 상승과 비정형적인 관상동맥 폐쇄를 보여 ST분절 상승 심근경색으로 관상동맥 재개통술 시행하였고 이후 퇴원하였으나 가슴통증이 악화되어 재입원하여 대동맥 박리에 의한 심근경색이 진단되었으며 수술적으로 대동맥 박리를 치료한 1예를 경험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
