Abstract
Simultaneous stent thrombosis in different coronary arteries requires rapid management. A 70-year-old man experienced simultaneous stent thrombosis at the left anterior descending and circumflex arteries. We used a perfusion balloon to prevent thrombus production at the left anterior descending artery, and completed percutaneous coronary intervention at the left circumflex artery in 10 min. The perfusion balloon was dilated during the procedure. In both vessels, Thrombolysis in myocardial infarction flow grade 3 was achieved after balloon deflation. Thus, use of a perfusion balloon for simultaneous double vessel occlusion helped avoid the need for redundant stent placement and shortened the procedure time.
