Journal Title: Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine and Cardiology - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 2

We describe a case of limited iatrogenic dissection of Valsalvae, with ostium right coronary artery, during a PCI rescue perfomed via trans-radial approach and was successfully treated without surgical intervention.
