Abstract/OtherAbstract:
We describe a case in which coronary balloon angioplasty failed to improve sequential lesions and resulted in a long area of dissection between the stenoses. Directional coronary atherectomy of the occlusive dissection produced excellent angiographic improvement to achieve a successful result and avoid the need for urgent coronary bypass surgery. Directional coronary atherectomy represents a potentially useful treatment for PTCA-induced coronary dissection.
