  • Coronary stent dislodgement during percutaneous coronary intervention, which occurs when the stent is passed through tortuous and calcified lesions, is not a rare complication. Without proper treatment, such as fixing with another stent in the coronary artery or removing the undeployed stent from the coronary artery or systemic artery system, this complication can cause serious problems. We experienced the unusual situation of a dismounted and dislodged coronary stent, in which retrograde retrieval to the radial artery was impossible during transradial coronary intervention. We report on use of a rendezvous and snare technique at the brachial artery level via femoral puncture, which resulted in resolution without surgery.

  • In clinical use, coronary stents keep coronary arteries open after expansion with a balloon catheter and prevent the expanded artery from collapsing. Coronary stents are positioned in artery by catheter with a balloon along a guide wire to the lesion site. Flexibility is one of important ability for delivery. In this paper, Palmaz-Schatz stent and Tenax complete stent were selected because these are the most representative of tubular stents. Finite element analyses for the stent system were performed using ABAQUS/Standard code. The present study estimated the flexibility of coronary stents due to loading directions. Moreover the present paper suggests a numerical method to test the flexibility of stents. In conclusion this paper shows how the finite element analysis can be effectively organized in the stent development.

  • Stent entrapment is a very rare complication of percutaneous coronary intervention. The interventional approach could be a treatment strategy. However, if it does not work, surgical treatment should be considered. Here, we report a case of surgical treatment of stent entrapment in the left coronary sinus of a 53-year-old male patient.

  • Here, we present a case of a 56-year-old man with acute myocardial infarction. The patient underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) at the left main bifurcation and mid-left anterior descending artery using drugeluting stents. Four months after the PCI, the patient was readmitted for cardiac arrest. Coronary angiography (CAG) revealed stent thrombosis in the left main-to-proximal left anterior descending artery and in-stent restenosis in the left main-to-proximal left circumflex artery. We performed balloon angioplasty at the left main to mid-left anterior descending artery and left main to proximal left circumflex artery stents; subsequently, blood flow was fully restored. However, contrast agent extravasation was observed outside the mid-portion of the left main artery to the proximal left anterior descending artery stent, indicating the presence of a coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) outside the stent. After guideline-directed medical therapy with dual antiplatelet agents and high-intensity statins, follow-up CAG revealed near-resolution of the CAA, absence of stenotic lesions, and good blood flow.

  • Treatment of patients with coronary artery disease commonly involves the use of balloon-expandable stent placements, currently recognized as the most prevalent approach for coronary artery revascularization. Nevertheless, the occurrence of restenosis remains a significant complication following percutaneous coronary interventions. The diagnostic role of coronary CT angiography (CCTA) in detecting stent restenosis has limitations primarily attributable to challenges in accurately discerning the lumen, due to issues such as blooming and motion artifacts. As a result, many cases often necessitate a transition to conventional coronary angiography. However, recent advancements in CT technology have led to notable improvements in both sensitivity and specificity, underscoring the growing significance of CCTA as a diagnostic tool. The consistent reporting of high negative predictive value is particularly noteworthy. This review aims to explore the historical context, current status, and recent trends in diagnosing coronary artery stent restenosis using CCTA.

  • The coronary artery disease (CAD) is rapidly increasing such as angina pectoris and atherosclerosis. The CAD is induce by cholesterol and calcium like plaque absortion to artery wall. The percutaneouss coronary intervention is non-invasive treatment that narrowed-artery is expand by using balloon catheter and bare metallic stent. The metallic stents have been effective in reducing the dead by coronary artery disease, but the permanent presence of the metallic stent has been associated with persistent inflammation, and incidence of late thrombosis. Therefore, development bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BRS) is rapidly increasing for treatment of long-term complications and arterial restenosis by permanentmetal prosthesis such as stent. The review discusses the BRS trend for successfully development.

  • Restenosis symptom, which is well known as a problem of stents, is due to the recoil and expansion pressure depending on shapes of stent. In order to reduce the effect of recoil problem, study on pattern and shape for the stent is required and the expansion pressure and recoil should be evaluated. This paper aims at evaluating mechanical characteristics of stent used in surgery for vessel stenosis. The expansion process of coronary artery stent in vessel for two models including the Cypher$^{(R)}$ from Johnson & Johnson$^{TM}$ and a suggested model were simulated using the Finite Element Analysis. Comparison of the directional recoil simulation results was made. The issues in the deformed shape of vessel and recoil of Cypher$^{(R)}$ were partially resolved in the suggested model. Therefore, the shape design suggested in this paper was able to reduce the restenosis symptom.

  • We report a case of a postinfarction ventricular septal defect caused by an acute recurrent occlusion after the implantation of a covered stent, which was performed as a rescue procedure for the ruptured left anterior descending artery during a percutaneous coronary intervention. Although the emergent implantation of a covered stent for the ruptured coronary arteries such as the left main coronary artery or the origins of the left anterior descending artery can be performed during a percutaneous coronary intervention, and a coronary bypass surgery should be considered in order to decrease the risk of complete occlusion, thus providing a superior long term patency.
