PULMONARY ARTERY DISSECTION WITH PULMONARY EMBOLISM: AN UNUSUAL PRESENTATION
Pulmonary artery dissection is an extremely rare and catastrophic idiopathic pulmonary hypertension complication. Patients with pulmonary artery dissection usually arrive at admitting office with chest pain, shortness of breath at physical activity, central cyanosis and unstable hemodynamics. As a rule, the diagnosis of such patients is made posthumously, as sudden death often occurs in them. Only isolated reports of surviving patients exist. A pulmonary artery dissection case with accompanying thromboembolism discovered by computed tomography (CT) is addressed in the paper.
