Per cardiac catheterization note - i attempted to cross the blockage with xience skypoint¿ stent however it would not cross.While it was being retrieved, stent came off the balloon in the proximal circumflex.There was still thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (timi) 3 flow however at this point.I focused to cross the stent struts against the vessel wall.Multiple wires, balloon and support catheters were used including pilot, fielder, run-through, whisper along with turnpike versus small support balloons but i could not cross beyond this segment.Patient was having active pain for which i decided to stabilize left main into left anterior descending artery (lad).3.5 x 30 onyx stent was then deployed from mid left main into proximal lad.Same stent balloon was used for post dilation of this stented segment.Further postdilation was done using 4.0 noncompliant balloon in left main and proximal lad.I attempted to rewire the circumflex with the stent struts, and i was able to get through the proximal stent where i had a 2.0 balloon to open up stent struts.I could still not go beyond mid circumflex where stent had dislodged.I decided to accept this result as further attempts were likely going to be unsuccessful.Impella was weaned off.Brilinta had been loaded and will be continued.Impella was removed.Preclose's were deployed and patent hemostasis was achieved.The patient tolerated the procedure well and left the cardiac catheterization laboratory pain-free and stable condition where he was taken back to an electrocardiographic a monitored site.
