We report the case of a stent under-expansion due to heavily calcified plaque treated with the shockwave lithoplasty system. A 77-year-old woman underwent coronary angiography, and intravascular ultrasound revealed stent under-expansion due to calcified plaque. Shockwave lithoplasty balloon was used to disrupt calcium deposits around the stent, thereby allowing a correct stent expansion with an excellent angiographic and intravascular ultrasound result.
我们报告了一例因严重钙化斑块导致支架扩张不足,使用冲击波血管成形术系统进行治疗的病例。一名77岁女性接受了冠状动脉造影,血管内超声显示由于钙化斑块导致支架扩张不足。使用冲击波血管成形术球囊破坏支架周围的钙沉积物,从而使支架正确扩张,血管造影和血管内超声结果极佳。
