    Author: Garcia-Robles JA, Garcia E, Rico M, Esteban E, Perez de Prado A, Delcan JL.
    Journal: Cathet Cardiovasc Diagn; 1993 Nov; 30(3):227-9. PubMed ID: 8269495.
    Abstract:
    Catheter-induced left main coronary artery dissection is a rare but serious complication of diagnostic cardiac angiography. We report the case of a patient with mitral regurgitation and accidental dissection of the left main coronary artery successfully managed with intracoronary stent that allowed emergent surgical revascularization and mitral replacement.
