How should I treat an iatrogenic aortic dissection as a complication of complex PCI?
Key result
Iatrogenic right coronary artery and aortic dissection complicating complex PCI was managed with covered and drug-eluting stents in the right coronary artery and its ostium.

Population
A 61-year-old woman presenting with an occluded proximal right coronary artery who developed an iatrogenic aortic dissection during complex PCI.

Intervention
Stenting of the right coronary artery and its ostium with a covered stent and drug-eluting stents, guided by OCT, IVUS, and MSCT.
Iatrogenic aortic dissection complicating complex PCI can be managed with ostial stenting using covered and drug-eluting stents guided by multimodality imaging.
Cite This Study
Wykrzykowska et al. (2012) conducted a case report in Iatrogenic right coronary artery and aortic dissection (n=1). Stenting of the right coronary artery and its ostium with covered stent and drug eluting stents was evaluated on Treatment of iatrogenic aortic dissection. Iatrogenic right coronary artery and aortic dissection complicating complex PCI was managed with covered and drug-eluting stents in the right coronary artery and its ostium.
