Excimer laser in contrast for the treatment of acute MI caused by thrombosis of underexpanded stent

Clinical Case Reports
Zaheed Tai

Abstract

The use of excimer laser with contrast for treating an underexpanded stent in the setting of subacute stent thrombosis and hemodynamic instability is described. The patients presented with acute coronary syndromes and cardiogenic shock resulting from stent thrombosis of underexpanded stents. The stents were recalcitrant to aggressive balloon dilation and in the setting of an acute myocardial infarction; rotational atherectomy is a relative contraindication. The use of concurrent contrast during laser atherectomy resulted in plaque modification and subsequent stent expansion.
