Migration of the stent in the left main stem due to poor lesion preparation

23 May 2024

Poor lesion preparation is an important factor contributing to serious complications in PCI of heavily calcified lesions. We present a case of a stent loss in a left main coronary artery followed by its successful retrieval.

Non left main bifurcation - LIVE case

17 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024

A 53-year-old male presented with a late STEMI one month ago. Coronary angiography revealed three-vessel disease: CX occlusion (culprit lesion), RCA bifurcation stenosis, and severe mid LAD-D1 (1-1-1) stenosis. The operators performed RCA PCI during the STEMI hospitalization.
In this live case, they performed the LAD-D1 bifurcation...
