Abstract

Iatrogenic aortic dissection is a rare but life-threatening complication of coronary artery bypass surgery. We report a case with incidentally detected iatrogenic aortic dissection related to aorta cross-clamping that was successfully managed with watchful follow-up. The decision making was based on 3-dimensional holographic and fluid dynamic analysis guidance.
