Figure (A) Coronary arteriogram demonstrating left main (LM) coronary artery stent thrombosis (white arrow) with complete occlusion of the LM. (B) Intravascular ultrasound was performed after manual aspiration thrombectomy showing LM stent strut (white arrows) malapposition to vessel wall (asterisk). (C) The stent in the LM was appropriately expanded using coronary balloon inflation; note coronary guidewires in the left anterior descending (LAD) and left circumflex (LCx) arteries. (D) Coronary arteriogram post procedure performed in the left anterior oblique and caudal projection demonstrating a patent LM stent (white arrow) with restoration of flow in the LAD and LCx arteries.
