Abstract
Iatrogenic acute type B dissection is a rare complication of intraaortic balloon pumping. Delayed visceral and spinal cord malperfusion can occur for distal progression of the dissection or relative hypotension. Cerebrospinal fluid drainage and percutaneous balloon fenestration provide a safe and effective method for managing ischemic complications.
