The quiet before the storm: dealing with proximal iatrogenic coronary dissections

Session comprising selected EuroPCR 2019 clinical case submissions

Facilitators: H. Gamra, P. L. L'allier

Summary

Consult this session to learn more about how to deal with proximal iatrogenic coronary dissections, thanks to a variety of compelling clinical cases.

Presentations available when logged in:

  • Golfer in shock after roof blown off
  • Extensive iatrogenic dissection of the marginal branch, left circumflex, left main and left anterior descending arteries
  • Left main dissection extending into aortic root during coronary angiogram
  • It's not over till it is over
  • Iatrogenic left main dissection leading to acute closure of non-culprit vessel causing cardiac arrest
  • Successful PCI of a "disappeared" right coronary artery due to iatrogenic coronary artery dissection: special reference to over-the-wire system
