Entrapped optical frequency domain imaging-guided rewiring and reconstruction of a deformed coronary stent.

A 54-year-old man appeared to have acute coronary syndrome with 2 subtotal occlusive culprit lesions in the RCA and in the LCx, and intermediate stenosis in the LAD. Approximately 2 weeks after the primary PCI, we performed elective PCI for the LAD lesion. We confirmed presence of thin-cap fibroatheroma at the culprit on OFDI and implanted an everolimus-eluting stent (EES); however, the OFDI catheter was entrapped in the EES, leading to a serious stent deformation. Under the guidance of the entrapped OFDI itself, we could recross another guidewire, successfully reconstruct the deformed stent, and retrieve the OFDI catheter.
