Clinical Information

Relevant Clinical History and Physical Exam

History: A 52 years old gentle man presented with recurrent exertional chest discomfort, palpitation, dyspnea and tiredness that alleviated at rest and taking sublingual nitroglycerine. He has a history of DM for 13 years and hypertension for 8 years with taking irregular anti diabetics and anti hypertensive medication.  He is current smoker for last 29 years. He has a family history of ischemic heart 
disease. 

Physical examination: Pulse-88/min, BP-175/100 mm of Hg.

Interventional Management

Procedural Step

Planned for PCI to LM-LAD  through right distal radial.
Wired both LAD &  LCX after engagement of 6F EBU guide catheter.
Pre dilatation  was done with 2x12 mm semi-complaint balloon at LM distal to osteal LAD then LM Dissection occurred.
After prepared bed 3.5x28 mm DSE was deployed LM ostia to proximal LAD at 14 atm.
Unfortunately again dissection occurred at LCX.
So we planned PCI  to LM-LCX (T-stenting).
POT was done distal LM with 4.5x8 mm NC balloon.
Then 3.5x30 mm DSE was deployed in LCX at 14 atm.
KBI and FKBI to LAD and LCX was done.
And finally IVUS was done.

Case Summary

¨ªLMPCI is itself complex procedure and complication are also fatal.
¨ªTreatmentdecision should depends on each patient & each lesion.
¨ªInbifurcation lesion , provisional single stent strategy is still the defaultapproach
¨ªComplication  of PCI management requires preparation ,early recognition 
     & knowledge of effective techniqueswith good team effort.
¨ªOstial branch lesion does not come alone, usually involve main branch.
¨ªCarefulmanipulation of guide catheter is required especially ostial LM PCI.
¨ªImaging(IVUS) is very helpful .
