Clinical Information

Patient initials or Identifier Number

5004643

Relevant Clinical History and Physical Exam

A 80-year-old male complained of chest tightness and dyspnea for 6 months. He had peripheral arterial occlusion status post percutaneous transluminal angioplasty to the left iliac artery in 2020 and dyslipidemia. He was performed Thallium dipyridamole stress test 5 years ago and showed stress-induced ischemia mixed at inferior and inferolateral walls. Coronary angiography was suggested, but the patient was lost follow up.

Relevant Test Results Prior to Catheterization

The electrocardiogram showed sinus rhythm with early repolarization. The cardiac sonography showed preserved left ventricle ejection fraction without regional wall abnormality. Thallium-201 ECG-gated myocardial perfusion imaging with dipyridamole and resting test showed reduced flow reserve at the mid inferior wall was noted.

Relevant Catheterization Findings

LM: PatentLAD: middle stenosis 70 %, D1 stenosis 70 %, with collateral to LCX and RCA (apic) through septal branchLCX: proximal chronic total occlusion, JCTO score 1 (blunt entry shape)RCA: middle chronic total occlusion, JCTO score 0

Interventional Management

Procedural Step

Target 1: LCX CTO 1. Engaged a EBU3.5 6F guiding catheter to left coronary artery and wired ASAHI Sion to LAD.2. Antegrade wired GAIA Second with Terumo Finecross Micro Catheter to distal LCX through CTO lesion. Switched GAIA Second to Terumo Runthrough floppy.3. Performed balloon angioplasty and performed IVUS to LCX from stent sizing and landing zone evaluation.4. Performed balloon angioplasty to LCX lesion. However, the wire was removed during these treatments. Re-wired Terumo Runthrough floppy to distal LCX and keep balloon dilation.5. Deployed DES, Ony x 2.25*38 mm, from proximal to distal LCX.6. Post-dilated balloon to well expand the stent. However, TIMI II flow was noted from stent distal part to distal LCX.7. Performed IVUS. The distal stent was landed in false lumen, with intramural hematoma formation.8. Dilated cutting balloon, BOSTON cutting2.25*10mm, to stent distal part.9. TIMI III flow was noted in distal LCX.
Target 2: proximal to middle LAD (p-mLAD)1. Performed IVUS to p-mLAD from stent sizing and landing zone evaluation.2. Performed balloon angioplasty and deployed DES, COMBO DES 2.5*33mm, to p-mLAD.3. Post-dilated with NC balloon.4. Performed IVUS to LAD and the stent was well expanded. Performed IVUS and true-false-true lumen connection was noted.5. Post-dilated with NC balloon to proximal LCX. Performed IVUS again and the stent was well expanded.6. The final angiography showed TIMI III flow. We closed the procedure.

Case Summary

Wiring through true-false-true lumen is not rare in CTO lesions treatment. Management of stent deployed in true-false-true lumen with intramural hematoma formation have not been well studied. We performed a case with this condition, and successfully treated with intravascular ultrasound-guided fenestration and cutting balloon.
