Aortic dissection is the most common catastrophic event affecting the aorta, which is characterized by complex clinical manifestations, and high missed and delayed diagnosis rate. Acute aortic dissection has the importance of medical emergency and is associated with a high mortality. The presented case was, 55 year-old-man who was found as dead in the shed. At autopsy on internal inspection; heart examination revealed dissection 1 cm above aortic valve surrounding full thickness and intact adventitia, also hematoma making pressure on the descending branch of left coronary artery after 1 cm from proximal resulting from dissection and full- thickness dissection in the origin of the right coronary artery and intact adventitia were observed. We aimed to discuss this interesting aortic dissection case in the aspects of medico legal literature.

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection is a rather rare cause of myocardial infarction, chest pain, and sudden death.There are currently no known direct causes of this condition.Most of the reported dissections have occurred in the left anterior descending coronary artery.Herein, we report the case of a 58-year-old woman who presented at our institution with an acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction secondary to a spontaneous dissection of the right coronary artery. Primary PCIresolved the occlusion of the artery, and the patient was discharged from the hospital on medical therapy.University Heart Journal Vol. 12, No. 2, July 2016; 105-107

The article represents data on the frequency and causes of coronary artery dissection. The types of dissections and approaches to their treatment are given. A case of dissection of the right coronary artery (type F) in a young man after signifi cant physical stress with the development of type 2 myocardial infarction is described. Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty with stenting of the remaining dissection of the proximal segment of the right coronary artery made it possible to prevent the recurrence of the disease.

Iatrogenic dissections of coronary artery and aorta is a rare and potentially fatal event, often following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The prognosis of patients often depends on early accurate diagnosis and timely and effective treatment. There are no definite guidelines for the treatment of acute coronary artery dissection caused by PCI. Here, we report a 50-year-old patient with iatrogenic dissection of the right coronary artery and type A aortic dissection who underwent PCI for chest pain. We performed emergency surgery of right coronary artery ostium repair, aortic valvoplasty, ascending aorta replacement, and aortic arch descending stent implantation for the patient. The operation went smoothly, and the patient successfully was discharged two weeks after the operation.

Background: A 47-year-old male presented with retrosternal chest pain, which had started 4 days previously and had become excruciating for the past 6 h. He had undergone mechanical aortic valve replacement surgery 4 months previously. Investigation: Electrocardiography, echocardiography, computed tomography-angiography of the aorta. Diagnosis: Rupture of the right sinus of Valsalva and right coronary artery dissection. Management: The defect in the right coronary sinus was closed, and the dissection at the root of the right coronary artery was resected and the right coronary artery bypassed to the root of the aorta.
