Abstract: A 35-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with unstable angina. During her
last holidays, she had suffered an anterior myocardial infarction (MI). Her available
medical records described a totally occluded mid left anterior descending (LAD)
coronary artery treated with two overlapped stents.
The new coronarography revealed a very tight systolic coronary stenosis at the
proximal edge of the stents, secondary to severe dynamic shortening of the LAD in an
accordion-like fashion.
