We report a case of recurrent ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) due to a previously implanted under-expanded stent with in-stent thrombosis refractory to traditional interventional techniques. We underscore the utility of bail-out shockwave intravascular lithotripsy to tackle previously under-expanded stents in this acute setting.
Keywords: ST-elevation myocardial infarction; calcified coronary artery; intravascular lithotripsy; under-expanded stent.
