Reversible coronary artery kinking caused by cardiopulmonary support

Cathet Cardiovasc Diagn. 1994 Nov;33(3):273-6. doi: 10.1002/ccd.1810330317.

Abstract

Cardiopulmonary support is utilized to provide optimal hemodynamic stability in high risk patients undergoing percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. This report describes a patient undergoing supported angioplasty in whom multiple new severe stenoses were noted following coronary dilation and that were completely reversed by discontinuing cardiopulmonary support.
