Key result
Stenting of the left main coronary artery successfully treated a catheter-induced left main coronary artery dissection and retrograde dissection of the adjacent aortic root.
Case Report (n=1)
Stenting of the left main coronary artery can successfully treat catheter-induced dissection of the left main coronary artery and adjacent aortic wall.
May offer a percutaneous option for catheter-induced left main dissection with aortic extension; hypothesis-generating and requires validation before practice change.
Left main coronary artery dissection complicating selective coronary angiography is uncommon. Moreover, aortic root dissection associated with coronary intervention is underreported and may require urgent surgical intervention. During percutaneous coronary angioplasty of a catheter-induced left main coronary artery dissection, retrograde dissection of the adjacent aortic root occurred. Both were successfully treated by stenting of the left main coronary artery. Cathet. Cardiovasc. Intervent. 49:86-89, 2000.
