title: Expanding subintimal coronary dissection under a stent-covered arterial segment: serial intravascular ultrasound observations.
abstract: A patient with an angiographically unrecognized minor coronary dissection in a stent-covered coronary segment in which a type D spiral dissection extended submedially to the distal artery is described. This complication occurred 6 months after stent implantation and was ascribed to injury of the stented vessel wall during an intravascular ultrasound study.
