Published: November 2021

AI Article Synopsis

  • The concertina effect is a rare occurrence in the left main coronary artery, typically seen in twisted or tortuous coronary arteries.
  • It is a type of pseudostenosis caused by the guidewire during medical procedures.
  • Recognizing this effect after procedures is important to prevent mismanagement and unnecessary treatments.

Article Abstract

Classically described in tortuous coronaries, the concertina effect is a type of pseudostenosis induced by guidewire and is extremely rare in the left main coronary artery because of its short length. However, concertina effect in the left main coronary artery after percutaneous intervention should be considered in the appropriate setting to avoid confounding management dilemmas and unwarranted interventions.
