An 83-year-old man with a known aortic arch aneurysm of 60 mm in diameter was transferred due to cardiopulmonary arrest. After achieving return of spontaneous circulation supported by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, the patient underwent heart catheterization followed by plain computed tomography to exclude evident aneurysm rupture and aortic dissection. Coronary angiogram revealed no obstructive disease. Subsequently, with a suspicion of pulmonary embolism, pulmonary angiogram was performed. Pulmonary angiogram from the right ventricular outflow tract demonstrated stenosis-like findings in the main pulmonary artery (PA) and faint visualization of the left PA (Figure 1A, Video 1). Contrastenhanced computed tomography with an intravenous line and a Berman catheter placed at the right ventricular outflow tract indicated that the pinhole rupture of the arch on the minor curvature into the PA caused the dissection of PA and following intraluminal hematoma, which seemed to occlude the true lumen of the PA (Figures 1B and 1C, Video 2). Unfortunately, the patient died, although surgical repair was planned.
