Abstract
Dissection of a coronary artery is a recognised and significant compli cation of diagnostic coronary angiography that often requires emergenc y coronary artery bypass grafting. A coronary stent was used to treat this complication. This technique has potential advantages in terms of speed of reperfusion and availability in centres performing diagnosti c angiography without surgical cover on site.
