Abstract 

Background: Catheter-induced coronary artery dissection (CICAD) is an infrequent but potentially catastrophic complication of coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Case report: We report a 70 -year-old man who underwent bail-out stenting. 

Conclusion: Iatrogenic coronary artery dissection represents a life-threatening complication of coronary angiography. Careful attention to preventative techniques and knowledge of effective treatment strategies will prepare operators well and facilitate successful outcomes in this potentially life-threatening complication.
