Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for Left Main Stem Restenosis in a Patient with Tetralogy of Fallot after Bovine Pericardium Angioplasty: A Case Report |Biomedgrid

Owing to the drug-eluting stents, percutaneous coronary intervention has become an increasingly acceptable treatment for patients with left main coronary artery disease. Rare reports of placing a drug-eluting stent in restenosis vassal which is made by bovine pericardium after surgical angioplasty have been described. We report a patient who performed operation due to Fallot, this patient's left main coronary was injured accidentally during the operation. To rebuild left main coronary, we chose surgical angioplasty and bovine pericardium was chosen as patch. However, postoperative coronary angiography suggested restenosis of artificial left main coronary artery. We placed a drug-eluting stent in this stenosis successfully. Thus, this case demonstrates that placing drug-eluting stents in restenosis vassals which are made by bovine pericardium is feasible.
