Catheter-Induced Left Main Coronary Artery Dissection Resulting in Abrupt Closure and Cardiac Arrest: Successful Stenting during Resuscitation. [Journal Article]
J Invasive Cardiol 2007 Apr; 19(4):E93-5.


Catheter-induced left main coronary artery dissection is an uncommon but devastating complication of coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention. We present a case of left main coronary artery dissection induced with a guide catheter, which resulted in acute occlusion and cardiac arrest. Survival and complete functional recovery were achieved with bailout stenting.
