Evaluating the incidence and risk factors for developing acute tubular necrosis after percutaneous coronary intervention in the management of coronary artery dissection.

The higher incidents of ATN in patients with coronary dissection being managed with conservative measures compared to PCI suggest that the use of CTA may be harmful. Additionally, persons who developed ATN may have higher mortality. Therefore, more studies in the management of coronary artery dissection need to be done which would allow further steps to be taken to reduce this harm.
