Coronary accordion effect mimicking coronary dissection
نویسندگان
چکیده
The coronary "accordion" effect is a rare pseudo-complication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). It is usually observed due to straightening and shortening of tortuous vessels with stiff guidewires during PCI. In this case report, we present an interesting case of the coronary accordion effect observed in a 52-year-old woman undergoing PCI.

Pseudo dislodgement of a stent due to crumpling of a coronary artery: a hitherto unreported complication of the "accordion effect".
The "accordion effect" is a mechanical remodeling of the arterial wall produced by endoluminal introduction of stiff guidewires, leading to vessel wall shortening and development of multiple eccentric constrictions. This phenomenon is unresponsive to vasodilators and may lead to unnecessary stenting of the pseudo-lesions. It must be suspected with the development of multiple lesions and when a ...
متن کاملPseudo-lesions of a Tortuous Right Coronary Artery During Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: Accordion Phenomena
Guidewire-induced pseudo-lesions are referred to accordion phenomenon and are infrequent occurrences during percutaneous coronary intervention of tortuous coronary arteries. Their occurrence can be a diagnostic challenge to the interventionist and might lead to unnecessary intervention. Ischemia and hemodynamic compromise are possible complications, if not managed promptly. The differential dia...
متن کاملSevere accordion effect: Myocardial ischemia due to wire complication during percutaneous coronary intervention: A case report
A mechanical alteration during manoeuvring of stiff guidewires in tortuous coronary arteries frequently induces vessel wall shortening and coronary psedostenosis, referred as accordion phenomenon. Subtraction of the guidewires normally leads to the entire resolution of the lesions. A case of this transient angiographic finding, during percutaneous coronary intervention in a tortuous right coron...
متن کاملMultiparity and Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection in the Postpartum Period
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a deadly cause of myocardial infarction (MI) that mainly affects otherwise healthy, young females. Forty percent of patients die suddenly or within a few hours of symptom onset. We examine the case of a young female who presented with chest pain. She developed ST elevations in anterolateral leads mimicking ST elevation MI. Cardiac catheterization...

Patient 1 An 84-year-old woman with severe aortic stenosis was referred for coronary angiography before transcatheter aortic valve implantation. A severe stenosis in the mid segment of the right coronary artery was treated with a bare metal stent. The guidewire induced a new moderate focal lesion at the most proximal segment of this vessel (Figure 1A). OCT revealed images consistent with a rupt...
