- 6F guide allows 4.0 mm Papyrus *plus an extra wire* - Jailed Cx wire v helpful as marker - Next time (!) would use angled microcatheter not straight - MC balloon and stent pass easily after 2/4

Long term data to ponder 🤔 3/4

Most important observation - it helps to work with the best colleagues on the planet - some tagged above 🙂 4/end

Great visuals thanks

Great case! I left a very good visible Fielder XT in a side branch in same case of LAD/D1-perforation, also CP12 for fenestration, but via dual lumen microcatheter Congratulations!

great point on radio-opacity

Thanks for sharing-- these cases are always "rich emotional experiences". The long term data from Europe are very sobering. Covered stents are not a panacea.

Great save! Have used CP12 in similar situations to puncture back into SB. No Jailing a wire behind a covered stent may pose difficulty in retrieving. I have found that quickly placing a short stent in the proximal SB before covered stent can help target the CP12 for puncture.

Placing a stent target a good option agree

🫀 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
