Event Description
|
It was reported in a literature article that the 3.5x18 mm xience alpine stent was implanted and a perforation was noted.Prolonged balloon inflation was performed, but did not achieve hemostasis.This was followed by the placement of the 3.5x19 mm graftmaster implanted inside the xience stent; this successfully treated the perforation and stopped the bleeding.The chest pain resolved and the patient was discharged home two days post procedure.Six months later, the effort angina returned; angiogram found a focal restenosis on the distal edge of the graftmaster.Pci was performed using oct and angiogram.Oct found extremely focal restenosis with homogeneous neointima.There were exposed struts in the middle and proximal segment of the graftmaster stent.There was no thrombus found.Restenosis was treated with the implantation of a 3.0x9 mm non-abbott, biodegradable sirolimus-eluting stent.Six months later, the patient had angina again.There was stenosis in the non-abbott stent.This was treated with balloon angioplasty using a 3.0x20 mm drug-coated balloon.
