Abstract: | Dissection of the sinus of Valsalva is an extremely rare accident during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), but it can lead to serious complications such as dissection of the ascending aorta. We experienced a localized dissection of the right coronary cusp without coronary artery involvement that was induced by a guiding catheter during PCI in a patient with acute myocardial infarction. The localized dissection showed pooling of the contrast medium in the acute phase, but it subsided spontaneously after 12 days without any sequelae. Manipulation of the guiding catheter should be performed with great caution not only in the coronary artery but also in the sinus of Valsalva. |
