It was reported that dissection occurred.The patient presented for a percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (ptca).The 90% stenosed target lesion was located in the severely tortuous and severely calcified left anterior descending artery (lad).Following predilatation with a 2.5 x 8mm semi compliant balloon, a 3.00 x 12mm synergy drug eluting stent was deployed at 11 atmospheres to treat the lesion.During proximal optimisation technique (pot) with a 3 x 8 non-compliant balloon, which was 3 in diameter inflated at nominal burst pressure (nbp), a dissection at the distal edge of the stent was noted.The st elevation and chest pain occurred related to the dissection.Another 2.50 x 8 mm synergy stent was deployed to cover the dissection, then proximal optimisation technique (pot) with a 2.5 x 8 balloon at nominal pressure 6 atmospheres, and successfully complete the procedure.The patient was stable, well condition, and no angina post procedure.
