Relevant Test Results Prior to Catheterization
Relevant Catheterization Findings
Interventional Management
Procedural Step
Quick wiring of LAD & LCX
Hematoma in LM ostium
Dissection flap in LAD ostium
Hematoma in prox LAD
IVUS in LAD to LM
Prevention:
Do NOT inject if pressure dampened
Coaxial guide
Gentle wiring
Avoid oversized balloons + high inflation pressures
Prepare calcified lesions
1. Stenting done Ostio proximal LM to Proximal LAD with Xience Xpedition 3.5 X 23 mm DES @ 10 ATM
2. Post dilatation of distal stent with 3.5X23 mm SC stent balloon
3.POT with NC Mozec 4.5 X 10 @ 16-20 ATM
4. IVUS after stenting
5. Good stent expansion
Case Summary
latrogenic LM dissection can be managed successfully percutaneously and prevents delay in restoring flow compared to conventional open-heart surgery.
Percutaneously managed LM dissection has a similar survival compared to surgically managed individuals.*
Avoid deep engagement of guide & continuously monitor the tip of the guide so that it is not sucked in.
Do not keep the guide too long in deep engagement position inside the LM.
