Iatrogenic submedial coronary artery intramural hematoma presenting subacutely

J Invasive Cardiol. 2009 Jul;21(7):E128-31.

Abstract

We report an unusual case of unstable angina resulting from a rare subacute submedial intramural hematoma within the mid-proximal segment of the left anterior descending coronary artery 3 days after successful coronary angioplasty and stenting. An additional stent was deployed to contain the hemorrhage with good angiographic and clinical results.
