During an intravascular ultrasound (ivus) procedure using the acist high-definition intravascular ultrasound (ivus) system, model hdi, and acist kodama intravascular ultrasound catheter, the kodama catheter worked fine while performing the first few pullbacks in the right coronary artery (rca).The user experienced resistance while trying to advance and remove the kodama catheter from the obtuse marginal (om) artery and no pullbacks were performed.Subsequently, another run was attempted in the left circumflex (lcx) artery, but no image could be obtained.The catheter was removed from the lcx and resistance was also encountered.At the end of the case, a dissection was discovered in the left main artery.
