Iatrogenic coronary dissections are rare but potentially serious. Their management is complex, particularly if the dissection occurs without an angioplasty guide in the arterial lumen. In this context, angiography alone is insufficient, and endocoronary imaging is essential (using optical coherence or IVUS) to guide angioplasty when necessary (guide in the true lumen, coverage of the tear). We report here the case of an iatrogenic dissection of the right coronary artery treated with OFDI guiding.
