Table 1 Angiographic and IVUS features of coronary artery dissection.
From: The role of Intravascular Ultrasound in the management of spontaneous coronary artery dissection
| Â | Angiography | IVUS |
|---|---|---|
Dissection with intimal tear | radiolucent intimal flap delayed contrast clearance from false lumen | confirmation of true and false lumina identification of intimal tear length and morphology |
Dissection without intimal tear (intramural hematoma) | narrowed vessel smooth stenosis | confirmation of intramural hematoma length and morphology |
