Aorto-coronary dissection complicating coronary arteriography

Coronary artery dissection secondary to coronary arteriography: Presentation of three cases and review of the literature

“…Recanalization of the vessel dissected was noted in four patients who underwent angiography a second time [4,9,12,20]. Three patients had RCA involvement and one patient had LCA involvement.…”

Aortic dissection as complication of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty

“…Aorto-coronary dissection complicating coronary angiography has been previously reported [3]. To our knowledge, this is the first report of aortic dissection as a complication of coronary angioplasty.…”

“…It typically extends down the vessel. However, it may also progress proximally, even (rarely) into the aortic root [3].…”

Catheter‐Induced Dissection of the Left Main Coronary Artery With and Without Extension to the Aortic Root:

“…12 Management of iatrogenic left main dissection can be conservative, percutaneous intervention, or bypass surgery. 10,[18][19][20] Watchful waiting, suggested by Alfonso et al 10 is a reasonable option in the hemodynamically stable patient with a low-grade dissection. The presence of hemodynamic instability is a clear indication for intervention.…”
