Management of LCA-LM dissection. Bogdan Gorycki American Heart of Poland Ustron, Poland
Case report • 42 years old female • Effort angina, diseaness, syncope • Hypertension • Diabetes mellitus • Hypothyreosis • Overweigth (body weight 120 kg)
Non-invasive tests • UKG: LV function normal • EKG: ST/T changes at rest • Spiral CT: hypoplasia of left vertebral artery, no significant lesion in carotid arteries, right vertebral artery ostial lesion.
Further diagnosis • The patient scheduled for coronary artery and carotid/vertebral angiogragphy
LCA: LAO 55, Cranial 22 Dissection LM/Cx Time: 22:50 Dissection LAD/D1
Fast diagnosis and problem solving • Diagnosis:Spiral dissection of LM, LM bifurcation, proximal Cx and proximal LAD/D1 • Management:-stop diagnostic procedure-immediate proceeding to LM stenting: -6F JL Guiding catheter -two soft wires (BMW, Guidant)
Fast wiring of LAD and Cx Time: 22:55 Aortic pressure:90/50 mmHg HR: 110/minECG: ST elevation. Chest pain treated with analgetics.
Direct stenting LM/LAD Time: 23:00 Time: 22:57 Aortic pressure:80/40 mmHg HR:120/min. Aortic pressure: 100/60 mmHg HR 90/min. After LM/LAD stenting BX Velocity 3.5x23mm18 atm., 15 sec.
Cx stenting Stent Bx Sonic 3.5x13mm in position. Re-wiring Cx wire and predilatation Ostium Cx with2.5 balloon
Final result: Time: 23:16 LCA:RAO30, Caud22 LCA: LAO52, Caud 14
One-stage VA stenting: Direct stenting: BX Velocity 4.0x13mm Ostial stenosis (90%) of right VA artery
Conclusions • LM stenting is life saving procedure in patients with LM dissection which occurs during diagnostic or therapeutic percutaneous coronary intervention. • The procedure should be included to routine training and practice.
