Abstract

Introduction: Acute aortic dissection is the most common catastrophic event affecting the aorta. Aortic dissection can present with a wide range of manifestations and is easily misdiagnosed. Case Report: Here we report a case of aortic dissection that was initially misdiagnosed as inferior wall myocardial infarction although the initial symptoms were related to right subclavian artery occlusion caused by a dissection flap. Aortic dissection was diagnosed after the patient underwent coronary angiography. The patient was managed with immediate surgical repair and was discharged in a stable condition.Conclusion: This case report illustrates the importance of having a high index of suspicion for aortic dissection to avoid a mistaken diagnosis in patients with an electrocardiogram (ECG) suggestive of ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI)
