introduction: iatrogenic aortocoronary dissection (acd) is a nightmare in interventional cardiology. although acd is rarely reported, the real-world prevalence is suspected of being higher due to unreported cases. the right coronary artery (rca) ostium is involved in the majority of cases, and dissections are usually limited to the aortic sinus in half of the clinical presentations. there are d...
