Acute aortic and left main coronary dissection during elective coronary stenting

Patient with post-infarction angina associated to severe lesions in the left circumflex artery and obtuse marginal branch was submitted to angioplasty with stenting, but developed a left main coronary artery (LMCA) dissection expanding to the ascending aorta, complicated with hypotension and cardiorespiratory arrest (CRA). She was successfully resuscitated but further hemodynamic instability developed and was resolved with LMCA stenting.
