Abstract
A 31-year-old man with uncorrected aortopulmonary window and fixed pulmonary hypertension experienced dissection of the pulmonary artery, rapidly complicated by a fatal spontaneous rupture into the pericardium. In the setting of pulmonary hypertension, the diagnosis of dissection and rupture of the pulmonary artery should be considered in cases of thoracic pain or cardiogenic shock.Entities:
