Coronary Angiography of the Left Anterior Descending Artery on Day 30 (Recovery Phase) After Scheduled PCI

Initial dilation of the let anterior descending artery with a 3.0 balloon was followed by deployment of a 3.5 mm × 18 mm Xience ProS stent (Abbott) at 16 atm. The lesion was post-dilated with a 4.0 mm × 8 mm and a 3.5 mm × 12 mm noncompliant balloon for tapering. A distal stent edge dissection was noted necessitating the deployment of a 2.5 mm × 12 mm Xcience ProS stent at 18 atm. The overlap was postdilated with a 3.5 mm × 12 mm noncompliant balloon. A final optical coherence tomography run showed good stent apposition and expansion. PCI = percutaneous coronary intervention.
