Clinical Information

Patient initials or Identifier Number

1233YS

Relevant Clinical History and Physical Exam

A 60 years old male patient presented here with complain of Dyspnoea, heaviness in chest, associated with generalized weakness since 10 days, symptoms increased 1-2 days prior to admission. H/O: T2DM/CAD/POST PTCA to RCA (2010).

Relevant Test Results Prior to Catheterization

ECG shows Old inferior infarct.

Relevant Catheterization Findings

His Angiogram revealed –  Left Main with SVD: Left Main: Ostium 40% disease. LAD: Type III vessel. Proximal to Mid ectatic artery.  D1/D2: Normal. LCX: Non-dominant, Normal. OM1/OM2: Normal. RCA: Dominant, Diffuse and ISR with mid 95% restenosis. PLV/PDA: Normal.

Interventional Management

Procedural Step

PTCA TO RCA: Right Coronary Artery was engaged with JR 3.5, 6F guide catheter. A 0.014¡± RUNTHROUGH Coronary wire was used to cross the RCA lesion. Pre Dilatation done with sprinter balloon 2.0 x 10 & 3.0 x 9 mm @ 14 atm. Drug eluting Stent YUKON CHOICE PC ELITE  4.0 x 40 mm was deployed in mid RCA @ 16 atmosphere. Post dilatation done with NC sprinter balloon 4.5 x 8 mm @ 22 atm. GP IIb IIIa inhibitor was used during the procedure. Excellent result with TIMI III flow achieved. Successful PTCA with stenting RCA.


Case Summary

Restenosis post PCI remain one of the most challenging lesions particularly for the side branches in terms of long term procedural success rate. Drug eluting balloon provide novel therapeutic strategy for restenosis. In-stent restenosis is the most important limitation of modern coronary angioplasty. Drug-eluting stents solve this problem but at the cost of late stent thrombosis and longer duration of dual-antiplatelet therapy. Drug-eluting balloon (DEB) technology is now available and offers an attractive option for treatment of restenosis.
