Percutaneous Recanalization of a Chronic Total Left Main Coronary Artery Occlusion in an 8-Year-Old Child After Arterial Switch Surgery

The fate of coronary artery stenting in children several years after implantation is unknown. We previously reported the case of an 8-yearold child undergoing stent implantation for a total left main coronary artery occlusion after arterial switch operation. Six months later, she needed another stent implantation for in-stent restenosis. Here we report the angiographic, intravascular ultrasound and optical coherence tomography findings at 5-year follow-up. Despite nongrowth of the left main coronary artery inherent to the stents, luminal patency, adequate struts apposition, and the absence of in situ complications were confirmed.
