Abstract

An 81-year-old Vietnamese man presented with worsening angina, with previous coronary angiography and intravascular ultrasonography findings with ostial left anterior descending artery (LAD) narrowing. He flew to our center for a second opinion. We offered intracoronary optical coherence tomography (OCT) evaluation for the measurement of critical ostial LAD, minimal lumen area (MLA). Provisional stent implantation to left main (LM) bifurcation (MEDINA 0,1,0) with dedicated self-apposing stent was performed with good angiographic result and mid-term follow up without major adverse event.
