| Popis: |
Iatrogenic aortocoronary dissection is a rare but potentially disastrous complication of percutaneous coronary intervention. The left main dissection extending into distal bifurcation involving both the left anterior descending and left circumflex is a complex and vital complication, which is classified as Eshtehardi Type II dissection. We presented a case of iatrogenic left main coronary artery dissection with upcoming closure of both major branches, which was successfully managed by immediate bail-out TAP-stenting. The 77-year-old patient was discharged without any complication, and 1-year follow-up indicated stent patency and favorable clinical result. Immediate bail-out stenting is a feasible and reasonable initial management for this lethal complication. |
