Post-coronariography dissection of the right coronary artery.
The case of a patient undergoing an emergency aortocoronary bypass to the right coronary artery after its acute dissection at coronariography is presented. Surgery was carried out two hours after the incident. After successful recovery and postoperative study, it was concluded that the main technical problem posed by this operation which was whether or not to ligate proximally the right coronary was satisfactorily solved by the initial decision not to ligate it.
