Iatrogenic perforation of a branch of the descending thoracic aorta during catheter ablation of the left lateral accessory pathway: a case report.
The iatrogenic acute aortic syndrome is one of the fatal complications of the endovascular procedure. Identifying and managing such complications is crucial for optimal patient outcomes.
We report a case of left lateral accessory pathway with successful ablation and perforation of a branch of the descending thoracic aorta during the procedure, which was treated by implanting an endovascular stent graft in the thoracic aorta.
Appropriate imaging and early intervention with endovascular repair can be key to the successful management of patients with aortic perforation.
Aortic computed tomography angiography is the gold standard method for diagnosis, and the endovascular approach could be a therapeutic option in these cases.
