Anaphylaxis leads to plaque rupture or erosion leading to acute myocardial infarction (type II) and acute coronary stent thrombosis (type III). Emergency coronary angiography showed coronary spasm and moderate lumen stenosis in the middle segment of left anterior descending artery (LAD).

Coronary angiography gives a visual impression about the severity of the stenosis. But it need not imply the actual functional significance of the stenosis in terms of flow physiology. If the FFR normalizes after stenting, the restenosis rates at six months is less than 5%. Normal FFR is 1.0 and an FFR below 0.75 in the study.

Current guidelines recommend percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for significant non-infarct artery (-ies) (non-IRA) stenosis in hemodynamically stable AMI patients with MVD, either during or after successful primary PCI, within 45-days. However, deciding the timing of revascularization for non-IRA in cases of MVD is uncertain.

MRA head demonstrated multifocal arterial stenosis. Repeat CTA head/neck and CT perfusion showed severe stenosis of bilateral M1 segments and left greater than right A1 segments as well as ischemic penumbra in left ACA/MCA watershed territory. After the second treatment, she had improvement in speech and motor strength.

CT angiography (CTA) of the head and neck demonstrated a nearly occlusive thrombus of the distal right M2 segment MCA as well as non‐hemodynamic stenosis of the proximal right ICA with possible underlying sidewall filling defect‐appearing lesion concerning for a posterior wall thrombus without underlying atherosclerosis at the bulb or otherwise.

The cardiologist called this 20% stenosis. The operator documented thoughtful consideration of risks and benefits of stent placement. Technically, there was a very narrow landing zone for the stent, and missing this could result in "jailing" the LCx, which is ideally avoided.

Old ‘NSTEMI’ A history of coronary artery disease and a stent to the same territory further increases pre-test likelihood of acute coronary occlusion, including in-stent thrombosis. The patient had a history of ‘NSTEMI’ a decade prior, with an RCA stent. Does this change your interpretation?
