Figure 6. Eruptive nodule reprotrusion post-PCI. (A) Coronary angiogram showing severe calcified RCA nodules. OA was performed, followed by stenting of proximal, mid, and distal lesions under IVUS guidance; (B) Post-stent IVUS showed good stent apposition and lumen expansion; (C) Repeat coronary angiogram 6 months later revealed recurrent nodule in the mid-RCA; (D) IVUS showed nodule reprotrusion through the stent. PCI: Percutaneous coronary intervention; RCA: right coronary artery; OA: orbital atherectomy; IVUS: intravascular ultrasound.
