A 62-year-old man with a history of ischemic heart disease and dyslipidemia presented with aggravating effort angina. He underwent stent implantation with a 3.0 × 40 mm sirolimus-eluting stent at the mid portion of left anterior descending artery 2 years prior, but a heavily calcified lesion led to severe stent underexpansion, which did not resolve despite postdilation with a non-compliant (NC) balloon (Suppl. Video 1). Angiography dem- onstrated aggravated luminal narrowing in the un- derexpanded stent site (Fig. 1A, Suppl. Video 2);

therefore, stent ablation with rotational atherec- tomy was planned. Pre-interventional optical co- herence tomography (OCT) demonstrated that the diameter of the underexpanded stent was between 1.24 and 1.66 mm (Fig. 1B, C, Suppl. Video 3), which was also confirmed on three-dimensional OCT (Fig. 1D). OCT assessment led to stent abla- tion using a stepwise increase in burr size, from

1.25 mm to 1.50 mm and finally 1.75 mm. Following stent ablation, OCT showed no visible strut area in the site of the previously underexpanded stent (Fig. 1E, F). However, a minimal lumen area of 2.27 mm2 led to the performance of drug-coated balloon angioplasty with a 3.0 × 20 mm Pantera Lux (Biotronik, Bülach, Switzerland) after balloon dilation with a 3.0 × 15 mm NC balloon at 24 atm.

Final angiography showed good distal flow without residual stenosis (Fig. 1G, Suppl. Video 4).

This report highlights the superior resolution of OCT, which can aid in choosing the optimal burr size, and presents OCT images of successful stent ablation.

Optical coherence tomography revealed that stent crushing also involved a 3.5 × 9 mm (likely malapposed) stent that was implanted across the LAD-D1 bifurcation 2 months

A red thrombus (arrows) is attached to the jailing struts of the Xience stent (A, B), which is crushed against the wall of the left main in its proximal part (B)..

Subsequently the stent was lost again and migrated to the left deep femoral artery, while an attempt was made at its retrieval with a snare loop from the renal artery..
