Abstract
A 64-year-old male with unstable angina underwent direct stenting in the pr oximal and mid-left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) lesions. Alth ough coronary angiography showed a good result, intravascular ultrasound im aging revealed a dissection flap protruding through the struts of the stent in the proximal LAD. Another stent was deployed in the first stent (stent- in-stent) to seal it. The patient's in-hospital course was uneventful. Suba cute stent thrombosis was not observed.
