The fate of coronary artery stenting in children several years after implantation is unknown. We previously reported the case of an 8-year-old child undergoing stent implantation for a total left main coronary artery occlusion after arterial switch operation. Six months later, she needed another stent implantation for in-stent restenosis. Here we report the angiographic, intravascular ultrasound and optical coherence tomography findings at 5-year follow-up. Despite nongrowth of the left main coronary artery inherent to the stents, luminal patency, adequate struts apposition, and the absence of complications were confirmed.
冠状动脉支架植入儿童数年后的命运尚不清楚。我们之前报道过一例8岁儿童，在动脉调转手术后因左主冠状动脉完全闭塞接受支架植入。6个月后，她因支架内再狭窄需要再次植入支架。在此我们报告5年随访时的血管造影、血管内超声和光学相干断层扫描结果。尽管支架所在的左主冠状动脉没有生长，但管腔通畅、支架支柱贴壁良好且未出现并发症得到了证实。
