Abstract
An extramural vessel wall hematoma occured immediately after implantin g a coronary stent in an in-stent-restenosis of the intermedius branch . Angiography showed a significant luminal reduction distal to the int ervention site, Intravascular ultrasound revealed an extramural echolu cent zone compressing the vessel lumen. Stent implantation compressed the hematoma and allowed adequate myocardial perfusion. This demonstra tes the value of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) in cases of unusual a ngiographic results which can help to manage complications after coron ary intervention. (C) 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
