Right heart failure is a dreaded sequelae of proximal right coronary artery occlusion that can complicate an angiogram or percutaneous coronary intervention. This case illustrates the use of a percutaneous intraluminal microaxial right ventricular assist device for high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention of an ostial right coronary artery dissection in refractory right heart failure. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).
