A 52-year-old male underwent cardiac catheterization for abnormal stress test. Trans-radial coronary angiography revealed a severe proximal left anterior descending artery (LAD) lesion. LAD angioplasty was performed with two drug-eluting stents. This resulted in dissection of the proximal LAD, the circumflex artery and the left main coronary artery (LMCA) extending back into the coronary sinus. A diagnosis of type 3 coronary dissection was made. The circumflex artery and the left coronary artery were stented, and then the LMCA was stented. Repeat intravascular ultrasound showed resolution of the dissection and TIMI-3 flow was achieved in all vessels. He underwent follow-up angiography in 1 month, which revealed patent stents with resolution of the aorto-coronary dissection. We report a rare case of iatrogenic aorto-coronary dissection that was successfully treated with unprotected left main percutaneous coronary intervention strategy alone and review the pertinent literature.
一名52岁男性因运动负荷试验异常接受了心导管检查。经桡动脉冠状动脉造影显示左前降支(LAD)近端严重病变。对LAD进行了血管成形术并植入了两枚药物洗脱支架。这导致LAD近端、回旋支动脉和左冠状动脉主干(LMCA)发生夹层,并延伸至冠状窦。诊断为3型冠状动脉夹层。对回旋支动脉和左冠状动脉进行了支架植入,然后对LMCA进行了支架植入。重复血管内超声显示夹层消失,所有血管均达到TIMI-3级血流。1个月后他接受了随访血管造影,结果显示支架通畅,主动脉-冠状动脉夹层消失。我们报告了一例罕见的医源性主动脉-冠状动脉夹层病例,该病例仅通过无保护左主干经皮冠状动脉介入治疗策略成功治愈,并复习相关文献。
