Agree that non coaxial GC position may be a potential cause to this complication. But in this case the aortic dissection was probably caused by agressive pre dil of a ostial LM calcified nodule that was pushed against the aortic wall as you can see in the video below

I often use a GEC that is advanced over a 🎈 shaft after deflation into the LM DES especially if coaxial guide engagement is difficult. But would do nothing here except stop injecting and get serial CTAs. Result looks amazing.

Great result on the lesion. The only thing I can add is the simple law of physics: for every action there is sn equal but opposite reaction. For FITs, when withdrawing large bulky devices (large NC balloons, ShockWave, etc) you have to pull harder.
