Intravascular Ultrasound-Guided Troubleshooting in a Large Hematoma Treated With Fenestration Using a Cutting Balloon

چکیده
Intramural hematoma formation is not a well-studied complication of percutaneous coronary intervention. We describe a patient with stable angina who developed an intramural hematoma during elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in the right coronary artery (RCA). Total occlusion with dense dye staining developed a long way from the distal RCA, near the posterior descending artery bifurcation site. The true lumen was compressed by the enlarged, tense, false lumen. The patient was successfully treating with intravascular ultrasound-guided fenestration using a cutting balloon, and a stent was implanted in the distal RCA.

The optimal management of coronary intramural hematoma has not been defined. We described a case in which coronary occlusion developed due to an intramural hematoma after percutaneous coronary intervention for mid left circumflex artery (LCX). Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) demonstrated the progression of the intramural hematoma and a totally compressed true lumen. Our approach was based on fe...
متن کاملArterial response during cutting balloon angioplasty: a volumetric intravascular ultrasound study.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Previous studies have demonstrated that the mechanism of acute lumen enlargement after balloon angioplasty is a combination of vessel expansion and plaque redistribution, but not plaque compression. The purpose of this study was to clarify, from a three-dimensional aspect, the vascular response to cutting balloon angioplasty. METHODS Serial intravascular ultrasound (IVU...
متن کاملNovel intravascular ultrasound-guided method to create transintimal arterial communications: initial experience in peripheral occlusive disease and aortic dissection.
PURPOSE To report our experience using a commercially available catheter-based system equipped with an intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) transducer to achieve controlled true lumen re-entry in patients undergoing subintimal angioplasty for chronic total occlusions (CTO) or aortic dissections. METHODS During an 8-month period, 10 patients (6 men; mean age 73.4 years) with lower extremity (LE) is...
متن کاملAntegrade approach to stumpless chronic total occlusion of ostial left anterior descending artery: first using a side branch cutting technique.
The approach to a chronic total occlusion (CTO) still remains one of the most technical challenges in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). CTO lesions with a blunt entry point, calcification, and failure of a previous approach, are the independent predictors of CTO-PCI failure. Here we report a successful antegrade approach for reattempted CTO-PCI of a left anterior descending artery (LAD)...
متن کاملReconstruction of an accidentally crushed stent guided by intravascular ultrasound during a left main percutaneous coronary intervention.
We present a case of an accidentally crushed stent due to an unnoticed passage of a guidewire through a lateral stent strut with subsequent stent compression after balloon dilatation, during a planned percutaneous coronary intervention on the left main. The crushed stent segment was reconstructed with step-by-step balloon dilation, guided by intravascular ultrasound.
