A 40-year-old man was referred to our hospital for the treatment of severe calcified coronary lesions of right coronary artery due to Kawasaki disease. He had a past history of early stent thrombosis after drug-eluting stent implantation for acute myocardial infarction at the left anterior descending artery, regardless of continued dual antiplatelet therapy and no stent malapposition and underexpansion. We performed rotational atherectomy and plain balloon angioplasty with optical frequency domain imaging guidance, and obtained an excellent initial result without stent implantation, which was maintained during the 1-year follow-up.
