title: Iatrogenic bidirectional dissection during transcatheter aortic valve implantation: a fatal complication.
abstract: Iatrogenic aortic or coronary dissections are well known complications in the field of interventional cardiology. They are the most dreadful situations, often with terrible consequences. We present herein a case of bidirectional dissection to the right coronary artery and to the ascending aorta during a transcatheter aortic valve implantation procedure.
