Emergency coronary artery stenting for coronary dissection complicating diagnostic cardiac catheterisation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dissection of a coronary artery is a recognised and significant complication of diagnostic coronary angiography that often requires emergency coronary artery bypass grafting. A coronary stent was used to treat this complication. This technique has potential advantages in terms of speed of reperfusion and availability in centres performing diagnostic angiography without surgical cover on site.

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection is a rare cause of acute coronary events or sudden cardiac death. The clinical presentation is highly variable and prognosis varies widely, depending mainly on how rapidly it is diagnosed. Prompt treatment is also essential, and includes medical management, percutaneous coronary intervention and surgical revascularization. We describe the case of a young w...

T he National Service Framework (NSF) for coronary heart disease (CHD) states that: " By international standards, the UK has high rates of CHD but low rates of coronary artery revascularisation. This does not appear to be because most other countries are over-using revascularisation but rather there has been under-provision of revascularisation in the UK. Another major difference between the UK...
متن کاملBail-out stenting for left main coronary artery dissection during catheter-based procedure: acute and long-term results.
BACKGROUND The optimal treatment of patients with left main coronary artery (LMCA) dissection during catheter-based procedure remains uncertain. HYPOTHESIS In cases with significant LMCA dissection occurring during catheter-based procedure, prompt stent implantation may be safe and associated with favorable clinical outcome. METHODS We evaluated the acute and long-term results of bail-out s...

Coronary artery dissection is a well-described complication of diagnostic angiography and has significant mortality and morbidity. The ideal management of acute coronary dissection and occlusion, whatever the cause, is prompt restoration of vessel patency to limit the duration and extent of ischemia. We report a 73-year-old man with simultaneous retrograde and antegrade spiral dissection of the...
