Case of spontaneous healing of occlusive dissection on percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty.
A large pseudolumen due to dissection arose during percutaneous coronary angioplasty. The true lumen was compressed critically. However, no infarction took place because of good collaterals. During medical follow-up, the patient's angina vanished suddenly. The repeat angiography showed healing of the dissection and patency of the coronary artery.
