CONCLUSION
- 2-year follow-up:
- NYHA II, free from angina
- LVEF 65 %, negative stress test (dobutamine TTE)
- What have we learnt with this case ?
- in such situation of side branch occlusion by stent-graft implantation in main branch of a bifurcation, it should be known that crossing the graft can be tried and successfully done and can avoid a severe post procedural myocardial infarction or conversion to surgery
