Significance of Angiographic Coronary Dissection After Cutting Balloon Angioplasty

We studied 2 groups of patients with (n = 14) and without (n = 42) minor coronary dissections following cutting balloon angioplasty. Patients with a minor dissection had a longer length of lesion, higher percentage of stenosis, and greater acute gain after angioplasty; at 6-month follow-up both grou...

Zusammenfassung:	We studied 2 groups of patients with (n = 14) and without (n = 42) minor coronary dissections following cutting balloon angioplasty. Patients with a minor dissection had a longer length of lesion, higher percentage of stenosis, and greater acute gain after angioplasty; at 6-month follow-up both groups had a similar net gain and restenosis rate, suggesting that minor dissection after cutting balloon angioplasty has no influence on restenosis.
