Are We Always Prepared for Urgent Coronary Interventions in Complex Adult Congenital Heart Disease Patients?

Key Points

This research addresses the need for preparedness in urgent coronary interventions among complex adult congenital heart disease patients.
Described a case where a patient with the Taussig-Bing anomaly developed an iatrogenic right coronary artery dissection during angiography.
Detailing the management process involved extensive stenting of the right coronary artery.
The patient successfully underwent extensive stenting with good outcomes following the dissection event.

Abstract

The adult congenital heart disease population is on the rise, and coronary artery angiography may be required for evaluation of epicardial coronary arteries in these patients. A patient with complex congenital heart disease, including the Taussig-Bing anomaly, repaired with the Rastelli operation, developed iatrogenic right coronary artery dissection during selective angiography. This was successfully managed in a challenging procedure involving extensive stenting of the right coronary artery with a good outcome.
