Long non-iatrogenic right coronary artery dissection in stable angina pectoris treated with stenting.

An extensive spontaneous right coronary artery dissection was the only abnormal angiographic finding detected in a 67-year-old man with chronic exercise-induced angina pectoris. The lesion was treated with multiple stenting with good angiographic results. The clinical implications of this finding and the details of the intervention performed are discussed in light of published data concerning this increasingly recognized angiographic entity.
