Abstract |
Catheter-induced coronary artery dissection occurs rarely during selective coronary angiography but generally progresses to complete coronary occlusion. We present a case of delayed occlusive dissection of the right coronary artery during coronary intervention of the left anterior descending artery. Bailout stenting was employed to treat the giant hematoma quickly using a unique technique. The use of two guidewires created a high probability that the true lumen was selected, and aspiration of the hematoma with the microcatheter and indeflator effectively repaired a catheter-induced coronary artery dissection.
