Abstract:
Iatrogenic aortic dissection occurs in association with diverse invasive procedures. It occurs primarily as a complication of cardiac surgery or after catheterization procedure. We found a case of iatrogenic abdominal aortic dissection caused by traumatic needle injury. The patient complained of abdominal pain after balloon kyphoplasty. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) showed intramural hematoma with air density suggestive of an iatrogenic cause. The patient was managed conservatively, and no lesion progression was noted in the follow-up CT. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of iatrogenic aortic dissection associated with kyphoplasty.
