CASE OF THE SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT OF ANTERO-RETROGRADE DISSECTION OF THE LEFT MAIN CORONARY ARTERY AFTER PERCUTANEOUS CORONARY INTERVENTION ON LEFT ANTERIOR DESCENDING ARTERY WITH THE STENT IMPLANTATION
Iatrogenic dissection of the coronary artery is a rare, but potentially very dangerous complication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with high risk of myocardial infarction and death. The incidence of this complication, the optimal treatment, and prognosis remain largely unexplored. This article presents a clinical case of successful endovascular treatment of a patient with stable coronary heart disease, with delayed acute antero-retrograde occlusive dissection of left coronary artery type F which arose after a PCI on anterior descending artery with stent implantation. The possible causes and mechanisms of coronary artery dissection are considered. We also discuss the chosen tactics of endovascular treatment of this complication.
