Intracoronary lithotripsy for calcific neoatherosclerotic in-stent restenosis: a case report
Background: In-stent restenosis is a difficult percutaneous scenario if calcific neoatherosclerosis is the underlying aetiology. Case summary: A 69-year-old diabetic woman with a previous percutaneous coronary intervention on the left anterior descending coronary artery was readmitted for non-ST-ele...

| Sumario: | Background: In-stent restenosis is a difficult percutaneous scenario if calcific neoatherosclerosis is the underlying aetiology. Case summary: A 69-year-old diabetic woman with a previous percutaneous coronary intervention on the left anterior descending coronary artery was readmitted for non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction. In-stent restenosis due to calcific neoatherosclerosis was observed by intracoronary imaging during the intervention. Intravascular lithotripsy was used successfully to fracture the underlying calcific plaque. However, the balloon ruptured during treatment although this did not damage the artery. Discussion: Intravascular lithotripsy is a promising tool for the treatment of extremely calcified lesions including calcific neoatherosclerosis of in-stent restenosis. Balloon rupture is a complication of this new percutaneous treatment that has not previously been described. |
