It was reported that a dissection occurred.The 90% stenosed target lesion was located in the severely tortuous and severely calcified left anterior descending artery (lad).The lesion was pre-dilated with a 2.75 x 12 mm semi-compliant balloon.A 2.75 x 28 mm promus elite was first deployed in the left circumflex (lcx) followed by a 3.00 x 38 mm promus elite in the lad at 11 atm.After post dilation of the 3.00 x 38 mm promus elite with a 3.50 x 12 mm non-compliant balloon, a distal edge, flow limiting dissection was noted.To cover the dissection, a 3.50 x 12 mm promus elite was deployed and the procedure was completed.The patient fully recovered and was stable post procedure.
