Abstract:
We report a 60-year-old male with significant renal dysfunction who had a recent coronary angiography with mid coronary stenosis. To avoid worsening of his kidney failure, we performed primary stenting with a combination of intravascular ultrasound and a marker wire. No dye was used during the stenting procedure. Whereas this new technique needs to be validated in studies, it represents new hope for such patients.
