Key result
Emergent stenting successfully seals simultaneous iatrogenic LMCA and RCA dissections after cardiac arrest.
Why the study?
Iatrogenic coronary artery dissection is a rare, life-threatening complication, with bilateral occurrences being exceptionally rare and presenting extreme clinical challenges.
Case Report (n=1)

Hypothesis-generating for fibromuscular dysplasia in bilateral iatrogenic dissection; prospective trials needed before clinical adoption.
Chraïbi et al. (2026) conducted a case report in Iatrogenic coronary artery dissection (n=1). Emergent stenting was evaluated. Emergent stenting successfully sealed simultaneous iatrogenic dissections of both the left main and right coronary arteries in a 40-year-old woman following cardiac arrest.
