    Abstract:
    Acute dissection of the left main coronary artery during coronary angiography or angioplasty is a rare but well known complication; it is attributed to a mechanical trauma caused by the tip of the catheter guide wire. The authors present two cases of dissection at the site of coronary angioplasty with a retrograde extension to the left main stem requiring emergency coronary surgery.
