Aortic dissection as complication of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty

We report two cases of aortic dissection during coronary angioplasty with a disparate evolution that was due to the different location of the entry port of the dissection. Aortic dissection occurring during coronary angioplasty may be self‐limiting, but it may also be life‐threatening and may call f...
