    Author: Kasturi S, Vilvanathan VK.
    Journal: Indian Heart J; 2015 Dec; 67 Suppl 3(Suppl 3):S110-2. PubMed ID: 26995415.
    Abstract:
    An 80-year-old male patient, presented with chest pain. ECG showed ST elevation in leads V2 to V4 and T wave inversion in leads V2-V6. Check angiogram revealed ostial LMCA 70% lesion & mid-LAD 90% lesion and LCX proximal 80% lesion. Predilatation of LMCA lesion was done with 2.0 × 12 mm NC Trek balloon and the LAD lesion with 2.0 × 12 mm and 2.5 × 08 mm (NC Trek balloons). Prestenting IVUS (Intravascular ultrasound) was done with Atlantis SR pro 40 MHz 3.6 Fr catheter. IVUS showed the LAD to have a minimal lumen area of 2.6 sq mm with 90% fibrotic plaque and a vessel size of 2.5mm and the LMCA to have a minimal lumen area of 8.8 sq mm with 70% fibrotic plaque and vessel size of 3.8mm. Mid-LAD stenting was done with 2.5 × 28 mm Absorb Stent (BVS). Predilatation of LCX lesion was done with 2.5 × 08 mm NC Trek balloon. Then stenting was performed with 3.0 × 28 mm Absorb Stent (BVS). Check angiogram showed edge dissection proximal to the BVS Stent which was covered with 3.0 × 12 mm Xience Xpedtion Stent (DES). Then LMCA Stenting was done with 3.5 × 12 mm Absorb Stent. Post dilatation was done with 4.0 × 08 mm NC Trek balloon. Post Stenting LMCA - LAD IVUS was done. LMCA and LAD Stents were well opposed without any dissection or residual stenosis. TIMI III Flow was achieved in the final results.
