Coronary occlusion following diagnostic angiography: salvage by intracoronary stenting

Cathet Cardiovasc Diagn. 1991 Aug;23(4):294-6. doi: 10.1002/ccd.1810230413.

Abstract

Catheter-induced coronary artery dissection and occlusion is a rare but serious complication of diagnostic cardiac angiography. This report describes the successful management of this complication with an intracoronary stent after prolonged balloon inflations and intracoronary thrombolytic therapy were unsuccessful.
