It was reported that thrombosis occurred.The patient presented with acute coronary syndrome for percutaneous coronary angioplasty.The 90% stenosed target lesion was located in the severely calcified proximal to mid left anterior descending artery (lad).Following pre-dilation with multiple balloons, the 2.75 x 20 synergy xd stent was implanted with no issues being reported.Four hours after the procedure, the patient suddenly started vomiting and an electrocardiogram (ekg) confirmed st-segment elevation.An angiographic examination revealed thrombotic occlusion with the 2.75 x 20mm synergy stent.When the thrombus was aspirated, the ekg improved.It was confirmed using intravascular ultrasound (ivus) that nodules derived from calcification were floating in the synergy stent, so an additional synergy was placed in the product.After placement, the floating calcifications disappeared, confirming good apposition.The final angiographic examination confirmed good flow and no perforation, so the procedure was terminated.The patient condition post procedure was stable.
