摘要：

Four drug-eluting stents were deployed in the right coronary artery (RCA) of a symptomatic young woman who presented with a chronic total occlusion (CTO) of the RCA. The occlusion was successfully crossed using the recently described STAR technique. However, the patient died suddenly 15 hr later. Autopsy demonstrated a long segment of subintimal stenting in the proximal and mid RCA that was intraluminal in the distal vessel. Acute stent thrombosis in the subintimal stents was responsible for sudden death. This case highlights the potential risk of performing extensive subintimal stenting for CTO.
