Findings on Coronary Angiography and OCT in the LAD and RCA (A,B) Baseline coronary angiography revealed irregular filling defects with haziness in the right coronary artery (RCA) (A) and an occluded proximal left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) (B). (C) The LAD after stent implantation. (D) Magnified view of the RCA showing irregular, hazy stenosis during the second procedure. (E to G) Optical coherence tomography (OCT) demonstrated multiple small channels of varying size with honeycomb-like appearance. (H) Angiography after stent implantation revealed a good angiographic result. (I to K) Final OCT demonstrated optimal stent expansion, compressed layer-like honeycomb structure (I), and mild irregular protrusion (J, arrows).
