Three-dimensional optical coherence tomography for guidance of complex percutaneous coronary interventions

摘要

A 74-year-old man presented with stable angina and a positive stress test 5 months after a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The index PCI involved stenting of the proximal left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) across a diagonal branch (D1) followed by stenting of the diagonal, resulting in strut protrusion into the LAD, with the T-stenting and small protrusion technique (strut protrusion into the main branch) without further main-branch balloon or kissing balloon, but with a good angiographic result.
