Simultaneous Acute Myocardial Infarction, Aortic Dissection, Pulmonary Embolism, and Pneumothorax: A Diagnostic and Therapeutic Conundrum

JACC Case Rep. 2024 Nov 6;29(21):102610. doi: 10.1016/j.jaccas.2024.102610.

Abstract

Chest pain is a frequently misdiagnosed presenting symptom, with a broad differential diagnosis that includes critical, time-sensitive cardiopulmonary conditions that necessitate rapid and accurate identification. We present a rare case of concurrent ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, aortic dissection, pulmonary embolism, and pneumothorax that was successfully managed by a multidisciplinary team.

Keywords: anticoagulation; aortic dissection; myocardial infarction; pneumothorax; pulmonary embolism.
