Abstract
Catheter induced coronary dissection is an uncommon but potentially catastrophic complication of coronary angiography. We report a case of a 48-year-old female with normal coronary arteries on angiography complicated by extensive catheter induced spiral dissection. Wiring into the true lumen was a formidable challenge as a consequence of the large false lumen obliterating the true lumen. We present management strategies and in particular, highlight the important role of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) imaging.
