Abstract

The authors present autopsy findings from a case of catheter-induced coronary artery dissection during angiography. This adverse outcome is an uncommon but potentially devastating complication of coronary catheterization. The report will describe the clinical course and autopsy of an elderly woman with multiple comorbidities who had a coronary artery dissection during a coronary angiography procedure.
