  ABSTRACT: Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is the "state-of-the-art" technique for imaging and analyzing coronary plaque extent and composition. Despite small-sized IVUS catheters complications are possible during the procedure such as acute coronary dissection, perforation, and vessel thrombosis. The authors report the case of an acute dissection of the right coronary artery during analysis of an ambiguous plaque lesion. At the same time, IVUS is also helpful to reposition the guide wire from the false to the true lumen and to seal the dissection membrane by stent placement.

  ABSTRACT: Nitinol stents are thought to exhibit reduced occurrence of artifacts and may be suitable for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) evaluation of stent localization and in-stent patency even in coronary-sized stent grafts. A 54-year-old male patient presented with a large coronary post-stenotic aneurysm of the right coronary artery (RCA) beside significant stenoses of the left circumflex coronary artery (LCX) and the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) with aneurysm formation. After implantation of stent grafts to the LAD and LCX, two polymermembrane-covered nitinol stent grafts were placed into the RCA. A control MR examination 7 days following the RCA intervention showed successful occlusion of the former aneurysm, no post-interventional endoleak, and bright signal within the stent indicating stent patency. Thus, coronary MRI after nitinol stent implantation in coronary aneurysms is feasible for post-interventional early imaging control at least as far as the exclusion of possible endoleaks is concerned.
