Surgical Management of Instrumentation-Induced Coronary Artery Dissection

The mechanism of instrument‐induced coronary artery dissections (IICDs) is briefly presented. Depending on the coronary anatomy, three different situtaions that may occur are distinguished: (1) major coronary branches between the site of dissection and planned anastomosis; (2) no important collatera...

Zusammenfassung:The mechanism of instrument‐induced coronary artery dissections (IICDs) is briefly presented. Depending on the coronary anatomy, three different situtaions that may occur are distinguished: (1) major coronary branches between the site of dissection and planned anastomosis; (2) no important collaterals at the same location; and (3) perforation of the coronary artery.
