Stenting may stabilize catheter-induced left main dissection for surgical bridging; leaves open generalizability and need for prospective validation.
Emergency intracoronary stenting can successfully manage acute occlusive dissection of the left main coronary artery to bridge to surgical revascularization.
García-Robles et al. (1993) studied this question. Intracoronary stenting successfully managed an accidental catheter-induced left main coronary artery dissection, allowing for emergent surgical revascularization and mitral replacement.
