Cannulation-induced coronary artery dissection: successful management with circulatory assist devices and coronary bypass grafting.
A coronary artery dissection is a rare but well-known lethal complication associated with coronary perfusion. We herein report the case of a right coronary dissection that occurred after an aortic valve replacement. Coronary bypass grafting was successful after the establishment of mechanical biventricular support with an intra-aortic balloon pump and a right ventricular assist device.
