(a) Coronary angiography showing a total occlusion of the 1st left posterolateral branch of the
left circumflex artery (see arrow), an ostial stenosis (see arrow head) of the
2nd left posterolateral branch (proximal to the bare-metal stent),
and a patent bare-metal BeStent (see asterisk). (b) Coronary angiography
demonstrating stent occlusion of sirolimus-eluting stent and extensive thrombus
after guidewire passage (see arrow). (c) Coronary angiography documenting vessel
patency after balloon angioplasty.

Angiography showed total occlusion of the 1st left posterolateral branch, an ostial stenosis of the 2nd left posterolateral branch (proximal to the bare-metal stent) and a patent bare-metal BeStent  (Figure 1(a)). Further on, angiography demonstrated stent occlusion of sirolimus-eluting stent and extensive thrombus after guidewire passage  (Figure 1(b)). Ballon angioplasty was successful and restored vessel patency  (Figure 1(c));  peak concentration of CK was 2116 IU/L.
