  • Title: Acute myocardial infarction due to left main compression aortic dissection treated by direct stenting.
    Author: Cardozo C, Riadh R, Mazen M.
    Journal: J Invasive Cardiol; 2004 Feb; 16(2):89-91. PubMed ID: 14760201.
    Abstract:
    We describe a case of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) due to compression of the left main coronary artery (LMCA) by a false channel created by an acute aortic dissection (AAD). The dynamic pattern of artery obstruction is detailed as a key element to the diagnosis of extrinsic coronary compression throughout the angiography. Treatment by direct stenting restored complete anterograde coronary flow and improved myocardial perfusion.
