May support conservative management in stable post-PTCA dissection; leaves open whether serial angiography improves outcomes.
In this report we describe the case of a patient with a significant coronary artery dissection following percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) in whom serial coronary arteriograms were obtained over a 6-week period. These demonstrated healing of the dissected vessel and correlated with abatement of the patient's angina.
