Abstract
The authors report a case of a forty-three-year-old woman with an extensive iatrogenic dissection of the aorta, from the iliac artery to the ascending aorta, not associated with atherosclerosis or previous aortic dissection, as a complication of retrograde arterial catheterization. The authors emphasize the need to take all cautions in performing this procedure to avoid serious complications such as the present one.
