چکیده
Intracoronary imaging with intracoronary ultrasound and coherence tomography is often used in the follow-up of coronary stent implantation. The present case shows an infrequent complication of these procedures, suggesting our continued attention to the selective use of these invasive procedures.

METHODS AND RESULTS In the present double-blind study, 615 consecutive patients undergoing percutaneous transluminal coronary angiopla...

متن کاملStent Implantation after Ptca: an Overview
AFTER THE INTRACORONARY application of metal stents initially proposed by U. Sigward, a very aggressive anti thrombotic treatment was used. During the last years, however, the anti thrombotic treatment has been completely reevaluated. Currently, the therapy with ticlopedine and aspirin reveals excellent results with little bleeding. The current indications of stent implantation are severe disse...
متن کاملMigration of fully deployed stent after intracoronary glyceryl trinitrate administration: An unusual percutaneous coronary intervention complication
Stent embolization is a rare complication of coronary stenting. If left untreated, it may lead to devastating consequences. Although there is much known about stent embolization, data about migration of stent after deployment is limited. We report an unusual case of a deployed stent migration into the distal part of right coronary artery after intracoronary glyceryl trinitrate administration du...
متن کاملOverview of Intracoronary Brachytherapy for in-Stent Restenosis of a Drug-Eluting Stent
Percutaneous coronary intervention with stenting is considered recently as the most common procedure for the treatment of symptomatic coronary. The article reviewed 41 studies published during 1997-2019 on intracoronary brachytherapy for in-stent restenosis of a drug-eluting stent. Intracoronary radiation therapy was finally confirmed in the setting of in-stent restenosis using as adjunctive th...
