[Clinical Information]
- Patient initials or identifier number:
4557643
-Relevant clinical history and physical exam:
A 47-year-old ex-smoker male was admitted for elective coronary angiogram due to history of NSTE-ACS about 2 months ago. He has a past medical history of hypertension, dyslipidemia and ESRD S/P LRKT. His physical examination was unremarkable.
-Relevant test results prior to catheterization:
The simple chest radiography was unremarkable. His baseline ECG showed sinus rhythm with Q wave and T wave inversion at II, III and aVF. His echocardiogram showed mildly impaired LV systolic function (LVEF 50%) with hypokinesia at inferior wall.
![]() ![]() - Relevant catheterization findings:
1. 1. The right coronary angiogram showed severe diffuse stenosis from proximal to distal RCA.2. 2. The left coronary angiogram showed severe tubular stenosis of DG2, distal LAD and proximal LCx.

[Interventional Management]
- Procedural step:
A 6F sheath was inserted through right radial artery, and the right coronary ostium was engaged with a 6F GUIDING AL1 short tip catheter. A 0.014-inch 180 cm FIELDER FC wire was inserted into RCA. The RCA was sequentially pre-dilated by MOZEC balloon 1.5 x 15 mm and CONQUEROR balloon 2.5 x 20 mm. Following coronary angiogram revealed RCA dissection. The guide wire was accidentally disengaged due to difficult to manipulation. 6F GUIDING JR 3.5 100 cm and 0.014-inch 180 cm RUNTHROUGH wire were successfully re-engaged to RCA. The following IVUS ensured true lumen wiring and showed extensive spiral dissection of RCA. We decided to deployed 4.0 x 33 mm FIREBIRD II at proximal RCA for cover dissection plane. Pre-dilatation at distal RCA by CONQUEROR balloon 2.5 x 20 mm followed by FIREBIRD II DES 2.5 x 33 mm deployment at distal RCA. Then, two FIREBIRDE II DES 3.0 x 33 mm and 3.5 x 33 mm were deployed at mid to distal segment. Post-dilatation were performed with FORTIS balloon 3.5 x 18 mm and balloon stent 4.0 x 33 mm. The final angiogram and IVUS examination showed good results.
![]() ![]() ![]() - Case Summary:
Catheter-induced iatrogenic coronary artery dissection is a rare condition but potentially fatal complication. Many risk factors are described such as LM disease, catheterization for ACS, predisposing arteropathies and using of Amplatz-shaped catheter. Careful guiding catheter manipulation is mandatory. However, if it occurred, securing and maintaining wire access across the dissected artery is the most important consideration.
