Clinical Information

Patient initials or Identifier Number

Mr. B

Relevant Clinical History and Physical Exam

After patient underwent CABG endarterectomy on April 2020, patient experienced acute coronary syndrome 3 months after that, the coronary angiogram was done, showing  graft failure in all grafts and LIMA, except SVG-OM. Patient then scheduled for stage PCI LCA and RCA. PCI to LAD and LCX was performed succesfully, 2 stent implanted in LAD and 1 stent in LCx.

Relevant Test Results Prior to Catheterization

ECG : normal sinus rythmEchocardiography : LVEF 58%, LV diastolic dysfunction gr I, Mild MR, good RV contractility

Relevant Catheterization Findings

LM : normalLAD: stent patent in proximal - mid LAD, stenosis 80% in Diagonal 1LCX : stent patent in proximal LCX, total occlusion in distal LCXRCA : subtotal occlusion in osteal - proximal RCA, CTO in mid RCA, distal RCA got collateral bridging and ipsilateral (Rentrop 2)
Graft: LIMA - LAD: total occlusionSVG - OM : patentSVG - LCX:  total occlusionSVG - RCA: total occlusion

Interventional Management

Procedural Step

- Double puncture : right radial artery and right femoral artery - Guiding catheter : XB 3.5/6F and AL 1/7F- Anterograde wire escalation approach with microcatheter support- Buddy wire to RV branch continued with balloon anchor - Managed to cross the CTO lesion with Gaia 3- Stepwise predilatation and ivus-guided- Stenting with guide extention catheter back up, implanted 2 DES 2.75/38mm and 3.5/38mm in proximal to distal RCA- Post dilatated with 3.5 and 4.0 NC balloon with good result angiographically and acceptable MSA

Case Summary

Graft failure rarely happened,especially with LIMA. Because of the higher risk of procedural mortality with redo CABG and the similar long term outcome, PCI is the preferred revascularization strategy in patients with amenable anatomy. PCI to native artery should be the preferred approach.
