Unrecognized stenosis by angiography documented by intravascular ultrasound imaging

Steven Ehrlich, Junko Honye, Donald J. Mahon, Robert Bernstein, Jonathan M. Tobis

Abstract

This report documents how intravascular ultrasound imaging was used to diagnose a short "napkin-ring" stenosis that was missed by coronary angiography. Intravascular ultrasound revealed a lumen of 2.6 x 2.5 mm in diameter and 5.0 mm2 in cross-sectional area, with a residual atheroma that occluded 63% of available cross-sectional area at the stenosis.
