[Iatrogenic dissection of the left main artery treated by direct stenting].
A 70-year-old woman was referred to the department due to a symptomatic severe calcific-aortic stenosis. During pre-operative trans-radial approach coronagraphy occurred a iatrogenic dissection of the left main artery with total occlusion and cardiac arrest (asystole). Successful resuscitation is achieved with an emergency strategy of percutaneous direct stenting revascularization combined with cardiopulmonary resuscitation manoeuvres.
