Treatment of Antegrade Left Main Coronary Artery Dissection Due to A Iatrogenic Catheter Using the Reverse Crush Bifurcation Technique

Abstract

Iatrogenic left main coronary artery (LMCA) dissection is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication of invasive coronary procedures. The technique for managing LMCA dissection varies and depends on the patient’s comorbidities and degree of hemodynamic stability. Here, we report the case of a 51-year-old patient with iatrogenic LMCA dissection who was successfully treated using the reverse crush bifurcation technique.
