I recently performed a #SurgicalStentectomy together with Faisal Bakaeen MD. These operations are challenging and full of technical nuances. The decision to remove a coronary stent is never simple and requires careful consideration of anatomy, stent location, distal targets, and the safest strategy for complete revascularization. A fascinating operation—and...

@FaisalBakaeen A full metal jacket is a disservice2 the patient. While we may do stent endarterectomy etc the damaged endothelium has been emdarterectomised& Patencies can never match a primary LIMA to LAD. If patient could tolerate a stent endartectomy he/she could have undergone primary CABG

@FaisalBakaeen Metal jackets have a price. Great case, technically demanding, decision making even more so. A reminder of when NOT to stent, and why complex coronary surgery matters.

@FaisalBakaeen I did once in RCA, cardiologist was told no nickel. The patient was having severe allergic symptoms. RCA was almost like a carotid and received a vein patch. They did well

@FaisalBakaeen Why was the stent removed?

4 A.M. STEMI call. 45-year-old male with acute anterior STEMI activated through the STEMI pathway. Coronary angiography showed complete thrombotic occlusion of the LAD. Initial ballooning restored flow, and a drug-eluting stent was deployed successfully… or so we thought. Seconds later came one of the true nightmares in interventional cardiology: The stent was physically delivered. Deployment was confirmed. But fluoroscopy showed… no stent in the lesion. The LAD still looked unstented. Immediate full fluoroscopic search of the patient’s body was performed. No lost stent was seen anywhere. The table? Negative. The sheath? Negative. The guiding system inside the body? Negative. Unfortunately, stent boost was unavailable at that moment, and IVUS was not accessible. Multiple vigorous flushes of the guiding catheter failed to reveal the missing stent. At that point, the concern escalated dramatically — embolized stent? Lost in the system? Somewhere unseen? Decision was made to retrieve the entire system and physically inspect everything outside the patient. Still nothing. Finally, as a last attempt, the guiding catheter was carefully cut in small external segments. And there it was. The entire undeployed stent was trapped inside the OUTSIDE portion of the guiding catheter — beyond the fluoroscopy field — firmly stuck despite repeated flushing attempts. The relief in the cath lab at that moment was indescribable. A new stent was then successfully deployed with excellent final angiographic result. Lessons from the night: • Never trust assumptions in the cath lab • Lost stents can hide in unexpected places • Systematic troubleshooting saves lives — and saves operators from panic • Sometimes the solution is not high-tech… but persistence and careful thinking Interventional cardiology continues to humble us. #Cardiology #InterventionalCardiology #STEMI #PCI #CathLab #CoronaryIntervention #LAD #CardioTwitter #MedTwitter #STEMIPathway

🫀 Why Photon-Counting CT Is the New Standard for Non-Invasive Stent Imaging Because “Uninterpretable” Should No Longer Be Acceptable For years, coronary stent evaluation by CTA was often dismissed: “Too much blooming.” “Too much metal artifact.” “Just send the patient to invasive angiography.” That paradigm belongs to the past. Photon-Counting CT (PCCT) is changing non-invasive stent imaging from a limitation into a true diagnostic tool. 🧠 Why conventional CT struggles With standard EID-CT: - Metallic struts create significant blooming - Partial volume effects obscure the intrastent lumen - Small stents become nearly unreadable - Motion artifacts worsen proximal and ostial evaluation The result? 👉 Many stents are labeled “non-diagnostic” 👉 Patients are sent to unnecessary invasive angiography ⚡ Why PCCT changes everything -Ultra-high spatial resolution - Sharper visualization of stent struts - Clear assessment of the true intrastent lumen Reduced blooming artifacts - Metal appears closer to reality - Less artificial lumen narrowing High temporal resolution - Better imaging of proximal, ostial, and fast-moving segments - Reduced motion blur around the stent High iodine concentration contrast (400 mg I/mL) - Strong intraluminal enhancement - Better contrast between lumen and metal - Spectral capability Additional confidence separating iodine signal from stent artifact 🎯 The clinical shift From: “Can we read this stent?” To: “We can characterize it with confidence.” - Restenosis - Stent patency - Aneurysm repair - Complex proximal LAD interventions - Left main and bifurcation stents >>>> all become more reliably assessable. From invasive default to non-invasive confidence and convenience. From metallic blur to diagnostic clarity. That’s why PCCT is becoming the new standard for coronary stent imaging. ⚡🫀 #PhotonCountingCT #PCCT #CoronaryCTA #StentImaging #CardiacCT #CoronaryStent #UltraHighResolution #RadiologyInnovation #yesCCT
