Event Description
|
An article titled - partial stent extraction 14 months after stent implantation as a complication of cutting balloon was submitted.
A 2.
50mm resolute onyx coronary drug-eluting stent (des) was implanted to treat an unprotected subtotal occlusion of the left circumflex artery.
Approximately 11 months later a 99% in-stent restenosis (isr) was treated with a drug coated balloon.
Approximately 14 months post stent implantation, a symptomatic focal isr recurred and intravascular ultrasound (ivus) demonstrated stent recoil due to severe calcification.
A non-medtronic cutting balloon was used to prepare the lesion before implanting a new des.
Resistance was felt when removing the cutting balloon after complete deflation.
Approximately 7 mm of the proximal stent was inadvertently removed along with the cutting balloon.
The patient remained hemodynamically stable, and optical coherence tomography confirmed recoil and avulsion of the neointima.
The new des (2.
75x12mm) was deployed at the extraction site.
Final angiography and oct confirmed acceptable expansion of the stent.
It was suspected that the cutting balloon flex point, which occurs every 5mm along the blade, became afixed to the proximal edge of the under expanded stent and caused the stent extraction.
