a Optical coherence tomography (OCT) image of the culprit lesion. 3D OCT showed deformed struts with adherent structure (white arrowhead, right panel), as in the cross-sectional image (left panel). b Post-PCI OCT imaging showed adequate stent expansion (left panel) and disappearance of the deformed struts with thrombus from the LMT bifurcation with widely-opened ostial circumflex (right panel). c OCT imaging at 11 months follow-up revealed nicely reendothelialized without restenosis. Thrombus was not observed at all
