Abstract
Acute aortic dissection in a patient with advanced coronary artery disease - a case report: A case of a 58-year-old male with acute aortic dissection is presented. A few months earlier the patient underwent transmyocardial laser revascularisation and implantation of venous graft to the left anterior descending coronary artery due to three-vessel disease. Acute aortic dissection was successfuly treated by surgery. Therapeutic options in patients with acute aortic dissection and advanced coronary artery disease are discussed.
Keywords: acute aortic dissection - transmyocardial laser revascularisation
