Herein, we report a 66-year-old male case with critical stenosis due to catheter-induced dissection during percutaneous coronary intervention. During the insertion of a stent to the critical stenosis in the circumflex branch, a retrograde dissection was detected in the circumflex branch proceeding to the left main coronary artery.
