Acute stent malfunction in a calcified lesion
Stent fracture is an emerging complication of coronary stenting. Stent fractures were originally reported in the superficial femoral arteries but have since been reported in almost all vascular sites. They are the result of the complex interplay among stent design, the stented segment, plaque morphology, deployment technique, including forceful exaggerated motion in the atrioventricular groove ...
متن کاملA calcified lesion on abdominal X-ray.
A 76-year-old woman presented with abdominal discomfort and constipation for a few months. Routine blood tests were normal. Colonoscopy was performed which revealed no colonic lesions. However, a large calcified lesion was detected on plain abdominal X-ray (Fig 1). What is the nature of the lesion? What should be the next step of investigation? Is any treatment required, and if so what is the a...
متن کاملEndoscopic reintervention for stent malfunction after stent-in-stent deployment for malignant hilar obstruction
Endoscopic bilateral stenting has been increasingly performed for advanced hilar obstruction. As disease progresses, stent malfunction eventually occurs. However, endoscopic reintervention is difficult in these patients. We aimed to evaluate a suitable reintervention procedure for stent malfunction after stent-in-stent (SIS) deployment for malignant hilar obstruction.Among 52 patients with bila...
متن کاملOptical coherence tomography findings after longitudinal ablation for an underexpanded stent in a heavily calcified lesion: a case report
BACKGROUND Heavy coronary artery calcification is responsible for stent underexpansion, which is associated with increased in-stent restenosis. Here we report a case in which optical coherence tomography (OCT) demonstrated that the metal component of an underexpanded stent previously implanted in a heavy calcified lesion had been completely removed after ablation with rotational atherectomy. ...

receiving at the time of admission, consisting of atenolol, atorvastatin and aspirin, clopidogrel, and intravenous infusion of nitroglycerin was initiated and cardiac catheterization was performed. The left ventricle, which was hypertrophic and presented moderate hypokinesia of the apical region, preserved an ejection fraction of 63%. The bifurcation of the left main cononary artery presented a...
