The patient was a 49 year-old man. In September 2002,
he was treated with a 3.5 x 18 mm S7 stent for a LAD stenosis.(Figure
1, Figure
2) His coronary risk factors were hypertension and smoking. Echocardiogram
showed 50% of left ventricular ejection fraction with regional wall motion
abnormalities in LAD territories. Six-month follow-up coronary angiogram
showed a total in-stent restenosis (ISR) at the stented segment.(Figure
3) The ISR lesion was treated with cutting balloon angioplasty (Figure
4) and beta-radiation with a 188Re-MAG3 filled balloon.(Figure
5) Final angiogram was successful.(Figure
6) Although he had not ischemic symptoms, 6-month follow-up angiogram
showed a recurrent in-stent restenosis at the radiated segment and a new
lesion at the distal LAD.(Figure
7) Because the ISR lesion was refractory to the first brachytherapy
treatment, we intended to treat the lesion with a Cypher stent. After a
3.0 x 18 mm Cypher stent implantation for the distal LAD lesion,(Figure
8) balloon angioplasty followed by a 3.0 x 18 mm Cyhper stent implantation
was performed at the recurrent ISR lesion.(Figure
9) Final angiogram showed a very good result.(Figure
10) During 3-month follow-up period, he has not complained any cardiac symptoms. |
