Event Description
|
An article titled 'a case of very late stent thrombosis on the protruded struts at the left main coronary bifurcation' was submitted.Patient underwent a zotarolimus-eluting stent implantation in the proximal left anterior descending artery for acute myocardial infarction 3 years previously and had been treated with dual antiplatelet therapy.The patient experienced chest pain and suddenly collapsed due to acute coronary syndrome caused by a huge thrombus in the left main coronary bifurcation.After insertion of the intra-aortic balloon pump, kissing balloon inflation improved coronary flow and hemodynamics.Two weeks later, a 3-dimensional optical frequency domain imaging (3-d ofdi) revealed uncovered protruded struts on the ostium of the left circumflex artery (lcx).The protruded struts were removed by using a double lumen catheter, for which the second wire was advanced to more distal cell along with the first wire located in the same lcx branch.3- d ofdi clearly demonstrated that uncovered protruded struts at the lcx ostium were the cause of vlst and navigated optimal wiring with a double lumen catheter.
