A GR stent was implanted in the proximal part of the left anterior descending artery (LAD) because of suboptimal results of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). More than 90% stenosis occurred in the non-stented region just distal to the edge of the GR stent. Another stenosis ensued mid-stent after PTCA was performed for that lesion. Acute occlusion from the mid- LAD to the main trunk progressed immediately after PTCA for the LAD. The patient died of cardiogenic shock despite repeated bail-out PTCA procedures for both the main trunk and the proximal LAD. Acute retrograde occlusion might be caused by in-stent thrombosis, or acute recoil of GR stent associated with insufficient stent dilatation and acute coronary arterial elastic recoil., Acta medica Nagasakiensia. 1998, 43(3-4), p.83-87}, pages = {83--87}, title = {Progressive Retrograde Acute Coronary Occlusion after Gianturco-Roubin Stenting}, volume = {43}, year = {1998} }
