Iatrogenic coronary artery dissections: direct visualization and mechanistic insights from the visible heart laboratories
This is the first report demonstrating angioscopic images of coronary artery dissections. Two different dissection morphologies emerged: Transverse dissections that can quickly progress to become flow-obstructing flaps, and longitudinal dissections that appear more stable.
