case_images: Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) revealed a severe dissection of the aortic sinus, but evaluating the patency of the LAD was made difficult because of interference from the coronary stent (Figures 1A,B).
case_images: Visualization of the coronary angiography. (A) Intraoperative open-heart coronary angiography shows no significant stenosis in the left coronary artery. (B) Intraoperative open-heart coronary angiography shows no significant stenosis in the right coronary artery. LAD, left anterior descending coronary artery; LCX, left circumflex coronary artery.

case_images: A pump was used to inject 5 milliliters of contrast medium (loperamide, 300 mg iodine/mL, Ultravist, Bayer, Berlin, Germany) at a pressure of 1,000 psi and a flow rate of 4 mL/s, showing no significant coronary artery stenosis in the coronary artery (Figures 2A,B).
