Abstract:
Straightening of tortuous coronary arteries during coronary angioplasty may produce transient angiographic defects that have a typical invaginated appearance. We report a case in which coronary straightening produced an unusual defect mimicking severe damage to the artery. Recognition and conservative management were essential to avoid complications.
