Use of intravascular imaging in managing coronary artery disease

Figure 2 Intravascular ultrasound findings in patient with stent failure. A: Left anterior descending-Diagonal bifurcation treated with everolimus-eluting stent implantation in the left anterior descending and bioabsorbable everolimus-eluting scaffold implantation (T-stenting) in the diagonal branch; B: Post-dilatation with a noncompliant balloon in the diagonal branch; C: Four days later, the patient presented with acute myocardial infarction and stent thrombosis in the diagonal branch; D-E: Post-intervention IVUS showed stent underexpansion in the mid part of the diagonal branch (E) with good stent expansion at the proximal part (D) and at the distal part (F) of the diagonal branch. IVUS: Intravascular ultrasound.
