Background: Iatrogenic aortocoronary dissection (IACD) is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication of percutaneous coronary intervention or diagnostic angiography. The increasing complexity of interventions, especially cases involving chronic total occlusions, calcified lesions, and aggressive balloon dilation, has heightened the risk of IACD. It is often underreported, with an estimated incidence of 0.

Background: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stents (DES) on ostial left circumflex (oLCx) is associated with a high rate of adverse events.
Aims: This study aims to compare drug-coated balloons (DCB) and DES in the treatment of oLCx lesions.
Methods: Consecutive patients undergoing DCB-PCI of de novo oLCx lesions (isolated or in the context of a distal left main bifurcation) in eight international centers from 2018 to 2023 were retrospectively enrolled and compared with a historical cohort of patients who received PCI with DES.

A 28-year-old Indian male with no previous medical or dermatological history presented with mildly pruritic linear skin lesions over the right anterior chest and arm. The lesions had been gradually progressing over the course of six years. Examination revealed multiple confluent, reddish-brown papules following Blaschko's lines, along with punctate hyperkeratotic papules over the right hand, with sparing of the mucosa, scalp, and nails.

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for isolated ostial left anterior descending artery (LAD) lesions remains technically difficult. Accurate ostial stenting (AOS) aims to prevent involvement of the left main coronary artery (LMCA), while crossover stenting (COS) ensures complete ostial coverage but may increase procedural complexity. This study aimed to evaluate the long-term outcomes of patients who underwent AOS or COS for ostial LAD disease.
