Résumé
Cardiac catheterization is an invasive procedure done for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes to assess coronary artery disease (CAD) and valvular diseases. Although complications rarely occur, they are possible. Of those complications, iatrogenic coronary artery dissection during a coronary catheterization is infrequent and can be severe. This case report discusses a 59-year-old female presenting to the emergency department for sudden onset chest pain, found to have a non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), and underwent a left heart catheterization (LHC). During the LHC, she sustained a coronary artery dissection.
