Longitudinal Stent-Strut Injury at the Distal End of a Newer-generation Drug-eluting Stent

https://e-kcj.org An 86-year-old man with a recent myocardial infarction underwent coronary angiography, which revealed total occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) ostium and intermediate stenosis of the proximal left circumflex artery (LCX) (Figure 1A, Supplementary Figure 1A and 1B). After stenting with a 3.5×38-mm Resolute IntegrityTM (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA) from the left main (LM) to the LAD, we attempted T-stenting with a 2.75×18-mm Promus PremierTM (Boston Scientific, Natick, MA, USA) in the compromised LCX ostium (Figure 1B, Supplementary Figure 1C).
