Clinical Information

Patient initials or Identifier Number

CFS

Relevant Clinical History and Physical Exam

74-year-old male with received PCI for angina in 2015. Angiogram showedmid LAD CTO, LCx and OM3 bifurcation lesion and mid RCA 95% disease. Stentswere placed in RCA and LCx to OM. Two overlapping stents were placed in LADafter antegrade wiring (Orsiro 2.5/30, Orsiro 2.25/40).


Admitted 8/11/2021 for chest pain, onset 4 days ago. 


Ongoing chest pain, brought to lab on 11/11/2021.

Relevant Test Results Prior to Catheterization

He was started on dual antiplatelet and subtaneouslow molecular weight heparin.


ECG showed q wave at anterior leads, Trop I greater than 50000 ng/L. Echoshowed impaired LV systolic function (LVEF 38%), hypokinetic mid to basalanterior and septal wall, as well as akinetic apex.

Relevant Catheterization Findings

Angiogram showed filling defect over LAD proximalstent edge, rest of the stent being patent. LCx to OM stent patent, withaneurysm at distal LCx just before bifurcation followed by subtotal occlusion.RCA stent also patent, with retrograde filling to LCx.

Interventional Management

Procedural Step

Left system engaged with EBU3.5, LAD wired withRunthrough NS. Clot aspiration done by Export Advance catheter for 4times. Angiogram showed reduced clot burden. IVUS showed mild residue clotover proximal stent edge, no in-stent restenosis seen. It also revealedunderexpansion of old stent, with a vessel size of around 3.25 mm.


Proximal stent edge further dilated with Raiden 2.75/10 and Accuforce 3.0/8 NCballoon. Good stent expansion confirmed by IVUS and distal flow was good.Proximal to mid LAD stented with Orsiro 3.0/18. IVUS guided post-stentingoptimization done. Remained TIMI III flow.

Case Summary

We report a case of STEMI caused by very late stentthrombosis. The cause of thrombosis is underexpansion of stent following achronic total occlusion PCI. This suggests restudy of coronary angiogram may benecessary following chronic total occlusion PCI as positive remodeling ofvessels can occur later.
