Optimal drug-eluting stent implantation with the aid of optical coherence tomography in the stenotic lesion of ectatic coronary artery

CARDIOLOGY JOURNAL 

A 59-year-old man presented with 1 day history of intermittent angina and an elevated high sensitivity troponin measurement. He had received stent implantation with a 4.5 × 16 mm bare metal stent (BMS) at the proximal portion of the ectatic right coronary artery (RCA) 3 years prior to this. Urgent coronary angiography (CAG) demonstrated the severe stenosis in the distal RCA with patent of implanted BMS (Fig. 1A). The selection of appropriate stent size and stent optimization to avoid under-expansion and malapposition due to the stenotic lesion of ectatic RCA led to an assessment with optical coherence tomography (OCT).
