ABSTRACT

Catheter-induced left main coronary artery dissection is a rare but serious complication of diagnostic cardiac angiography. We report the case of a patient with mitral regurgitation and accidental dissection of the left main coronary artery successfully managed with intracoronary stent that allowed emergent surgical revascularization and mitral replacement.
