Clinical Information

Patient initials or Identifier Number

1655423

Relevant Clinical History and Physical Exam

63-year-old man, non-smoker Hypertensive cardiovascular disease, hyperlipidemia, old stroke(lacunarand TIA), Dementia, hepatitis BCAD, 3VD s/p CABGx4 on 2017 (LIMA to LAD, VGto LCx & OM, VG to PDA)Intermittent chest tightness, exertionaldyspnea, and radiation to left shoulder for months


Relevant Test Results Prior to Catheterization

ECG showed sinus rhythm and QS pattern over V2-V4CXR revealed normal heart border and mild emphysematous change over bilateral lungEchocardiography showed preserved LVSF with EF: 70%, mild TR, Grade II diastolic dysfunction and PAP: 35mmHgTl-201 revealed ischemia over the anterior wall about 20-30%

Relevant Catheterization Findings

LM: patent, Medina (0,1,1)LAD: - Ostium: Chronic total occlusion (CTO)without stump, Medina (0,1,0)- P/3: CTO and critical stenosis - M/3: Tandem discrete eccentric 70-95%stenosisLCx: CTO at M/3RCA: CTO from OstiumVG to LCx and OM1: PatentVG to RCA: PatentLIMA to LAD: TIMI II flow to p to m-LAD andTIMI III flow to d-LAD

Interventional Management

Procedural Step

Antegrade approach from bilateral femoral arteryDevices: - Guiding catheter: EBU 3.5 (6.0Fr withS.H.)- Guiding wire: SION Black, Fielder XT-A, Gaia - Device: IVUS, double lumen catheterIVUS-guided from LCx for confirmation with LAD ostiumWire to LCx firstly and and advance double lumen catheter to LMAntegrade Wire escalation with Fielder XT-A,Gaia III, and Conquest proHowever, wire dislodgeGaia III cross the proximal cap of CTO by microcatheter but More resistance during wiringHornet 10 was used for further wiring and successfully enter distal CTO capGuideliner + 1.0mm CTO balloon to enter the CTO bodyIVUS post 2.0mm semi-compliant balloonPre-dilation with 2.5 cutting balloon and2.5mm NC balloonStent deployment from distal LAD to LM by provisional technique with LCx ostium

Case Summary

IVUS guidance for LAD ostium CTO is necessaryDouble lumen catheter is a good tool for LAD ostium CTO for increasing supportWhich is better £¿ LIMA Vs. LAD CTOVs. Do nothing Stent cross LIMA anastomosis is still an issue in post-CABG cases£¿ PCI with coronary aneurysm is challenging, full expansion with vasvular or reaches the minimal stent area (MSA) by IVUS guidance
