Intracoronary ultrasound (IVUS) facilitates optimal stent deployment in the treatment of coronary artery disease, which may favorably improve long-term outcome after stenting. Complications associated with IVUS include coronary vasospasm and rarely more serious adverse events such as vessel perforation or stent deformation. We report an IVUS catheter tip entrapment within a self-deploying nitinol stent.
冠状动脉内超声(IVUS)有助于在冠心病治疗中实现最佳的支架置入,这可能会有利地改善支架置入后的长期预后。与IVUS相关的并发症包括冠状动脉痉挛,很少会出现更严重的不良事件,如血管穿孔或支架变形。我们报告了一例IVUS导管尖端被困在自膨胀镍钛合金支架内的病例。
