We describe a case of spontaneous coronary artery dissection that gave rise to post infarction unstable angina. An ambiguous angiographic appearance was shown by intracoronary ultrasound to arise from an extensive coronary dissection. The dissection membrane separating true and false lumina and feat

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection is an uncommon cause of acute coronary syndromes. It occurs in three major groups: in young women in the peripartum period, in patients with atherosclerotic disease, and in an idiopathic group. There are a number of associated conditions, but the pathogenesis r
## Abstract The diagnosis of cystic adventitial degeneration (CAD) is difficult. We present the first case in which intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) correctly identified CAD of the popliteal artery when duplex sonography and angiography were inconclusive. Cathet Cardiovasc Intervent 2001;53:527β529.
## Abstract Coronary artery fistulae are rare anomalies often treated percutaneously. New techniques aiding in the percutaneous closure of a giant coronary artery, not previously described, are presented in a case report. These techniques include the use of intravascular ultrasound imaging and the
## Abstract Failure of guide wire crossing is the commonest reason for failed procedure in chronic total occlusion (CTO) of the coronary arteries. Intravascular ultrasound can be useful in some cases to achieve. Successful guide wire crossing into the distal true lumen of the coronary artery. We de
