- Abstract:
- Occlusion of the right coronary artery is a relatively rare complication of type A aortic dissection and an example of type 2 myocardial infarction (MI) as well but when it occurs, it may have a fatal result for the patient. Aortic pseudoaneurysms are local type A dissections with a restricted extent in which the majority of the aortic wall has been breached and luminal blood is held in only by a thin rim of the remaining wall, mainly purely the adventitia. They typically occur from iatrogenic trauma by interventional procedures or previous cardiac surgery. We present a case of a 56 years old patient who suffered an acute functional MI due to such pseudoaneurysm formed in the context of an undiagnosed aortitis. The etiology remained unclear until the surgical aortic prosthesis was deemed necessary, finding chronic IgG4 infiltrates in the aortic tissue. To our knowledge, this is the first case of IgG4-related aortitis causing functional MI and cardiogenic shock.
