Predominantly diastolic coronary narrowing caused by iatrogenic left main dissection: deferral of stenting by combined angiographic- and ultrasound-based functional assessment

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Iatrogenic dissection of the left main coronary (LM) artery is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening complication of coronary procedures. Immediate recognition and appropriate management are essential due to the large myocardial territory at risk [ 1 ]. Dynamic coronary stenoses are typically associated with systolic compression, such as in myocardial bridging [ 2 , 3 ]. However, the occurrence of diastolic-dominant luminal narrowing has not been previously described.
