“…In the contemporary literature, 12 patients in six articles involving BAE were reported with AD complications during or after the procedure, all of which resolved spontaneously without signi cant discomfort to the patients. [2][3][4][5][6][7] However, in this case, the extent of AD caused a pericardial haematocele and subsequent cardiac tamponade, resulting in haemodynamic instability with hypotension or shock, indicating that it is dangerous. To our knowledge, this is the rst reported case of symptomatic AD after BAE.…”

Thoracic aortic dissection after bronchial artery embolisation is a rare iatrogenic complication. Here, we report a case of thoracic aortic dissection that occurred after bronchial artery embolisation to improve our understanding of this unusual complication. After the bronchial artery embolisation was successfully performed, the patient was re-admitted the following day due to rapidly increased blood pressure owing to emotional excitement and chest pain the previous afternoon. Computed tomography revealed that the patient had an aortic dissection. The haematoma gradually disappeared after conservative treatment. There was no recurrent haemoptysis, and the aortic dissection had disappeared at the 1-year follow-up. We report a rare case of symptomatic aortic dissection after bronchial artery embolisation. We believe our findings will be useful in the management of similar cases.
