Decision Making Using Fractional Flow Reserve after Left Main disease Treatment with Simple Cross-Over Stenting |

Case Presentation |
A 55 year-old gentleman was admitted with effort chest pain developed one month ago. His coronary risk factors were hypertension and dyslipidemia. The physical examination was normal. The ECG and cardiac enzymes were unremarkable. The echocardiography showed normal LV systolic function (EF=57%) without regional wall motion abnormality. Treadmill test was positive at stage 3. |
Baseline coronary angiogram |
The left coronary angiogram showed significant diffuse narrowing of LM shaft to LAD ostium and left dominant system ( Movie 1, Movie 2, Movie 3). The right coronary angiogram showed diminutive RCA ( Movie 4). |
Procedure |
An 8 Fr JL 4 SH guiding catheter with side hole was engaged into left coronary artery through right femoral approach. Two 0.014 inch BMW wires were inserted at LAD and LCX, respectively (Figure 1). Firstly, we performed intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) evaluation from LM to pLAD and pLCX, respectively. LCX ostium relatively preserved at IVUS examination ( Movie 5). So, we planned to deploy a stent at LM to pLAD with simple cross-over technique. A Promus Element stent 4.0x20mm was deployed and post-stenting adjunctive balloon dilatation was done by using a Quantum balloon 5.0x15mm (Figure 2). The following angiogram showed well-expanded stent but LCX ostium looked like significantly compromised ( Movie 6). So we checked the FFR value of LCX to determine whether to treat or not. The FFR value of LCX was 0.92 (Figure 3). Therefore, we finished the procedure. Final angiogram showed that the procedure was successful ( Movie 7, Movie 8). |
