Deformation of the stent after the development of spiral dissection of the right coronary artery
Keywords:
iatrogenic coronary artery dissection, spiral right coronary artery dissection, stent deformationAbstract
Iatrogenic coronary artery dissection (ICAD) is a rare (<3%) but severe complication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Coronary artery dissection results from a tear of the tunica intima or media, which leads to arterial wall hematoma formation and true coronary lumen compression. The etiology of ICAD is mainly linked to inappropriate use of the guiding catheter or subintimal passage of the guidewire. Also ICAD may occur during balloon angioplasty and stenting. We describe a case of iatrogenic coronary artery dissection which lead to proximal stentstruts deformation.
