Coronary angiography showed compression of the proximal CX causing critical stenosis (dashed arrow) in anteroposterior (Figure 1A) and lateral views (Figure 1B); meanwhile, the device seemed to sit too superficially and not fully configured.
During percutaneous coronary angioplasty closure device (white arrow) has been repositioned (A), and a stent has been implanted into the circumflex artery (B) together with a kissing dilation (C). Final shot shows no stenosis of the circumflex artery (D)

After repositioning of the device (white arrow) deeper in the ostium (Figure 2A) CX-PCI was performed with a drug-eluting stent (Figure 2B) together with kissing dilation (Figure 2C). At the end of the procedure no STE could be demonstrated, the device stayed in a fixed position, and finally no CX stenosis could be seen (Figure 2D).
