Abstract/OtherAbstract:
An iatrogenic intramural hematoma (IMH) localized in the ascending aorta is a rare and potentially life-threatening complication following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We describe the case of an ascending aortic IMH after the PCI of an anomalous right coronary artery. Early extension of the hematoma was observed during transesophageal echocardiography; the patient underwent successful surgical repair.
