Left main coronary artery dissection during percutaneous coronary intervention in patient with chronic total occlusion.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Catheter induced left main coronary artery dissection is a rare but well recognized life threatening complication of coronary angiography and angioplasty. We present a case of left main coronary artery dissection induced with a guide catheter while dealing with chronic total occlusion (CTO) and bailout stenting of left main and Left anterior descending (LAD) artery.

Acute myocardial infarction in an 80 year-old woman caused by left main occlusion with concomitant chronic total occlusions of right and left coronary artery: successful treatment with percutaneous revascularization.
Although acute left main coronary artery occlusion is rare, it carries a very high mortality rate. Following the encouraging results of trials testing the effect of primary percutaneous coronary intervention, more cases of left main stenosis are treated as culprit lesion in acute myocardial infarction. Few cases of primary percutaneous intervention on left main occlusion have been published. We...
متن کاملSimultaneous right and left coronary occlusion caused by an extensive dissection to the coronary sinus of Valsalva during percutaneous intervention in right coronary artery.
We report a case of simultaneous right and left coronary occlusion during percutaneous coronary intervention in the right coronary artery. An aortocoronary dissection induced by the forceful manipulation extended from the right to left sinus of Valsalva and occluded the ostia of both coronary arteries. The patient suffered cardiogenic shock and ventricular fibrillation. However, after successfu...

Despite the remarkable advances in revascularization strategies made during the last decade, a significant proportion of patients are excluded from either percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass grafting because of unsuitable coronary anatomy. Diffuse severe coronary artery disease, small vessel caliber, chronic total occlusions, or extremely calcified vessels are frequent ...

We report the case of a 78-year-old woman with saphenous vein graft (SVG) disease and chronic total occlusion (CTO) in three native coronary arteries [left anterior descending artery (LAD), left circumflex artery, and the right coronary artery], who was successfully treated by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using the retrograde approach via the critically degenerated SVGs. The patient...
متن کاملVascular Healing of a False Lumen After Bioresorbable Scaffold Implantation.
Bioresorbable scaffolds (BRS) are promising devices for the treatment of coronary artery disease by virtue of their resorption properties allowing positive vascular remodeling. This case report illustrates the vascular healing process after Absorb BRS (Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara, CA) implantation in a false lumen during the treatment of a chronic total occlusion. A 62-year-old male with stabl...
