Recent studies with eluting stents showed encouraging results in preventing in-stent restenosis. We report a case of a patient in whom the implantation of carbon-coated and eluting stents in two different vessels was associated with different angiographic results. A diabetic hypertensive 67-year-old woman with an acute inferior myocardial infarction underwent direct coronary angioplasty on the right coronary artery with the implantation of two carbon-coated stents. In view of the severity of an additional lesion of the left anterior descending coronary artery and diabetes, coronary angioplasty and stenting with an eluting stent was performed in this vessel. Five months later the patient presented with acute pulmonary edema and an increase in troponin I levels. A new coronary angiography showed a long subtotal in-stent restenosis of the right coronary artery, whereas the left anterior descending coronary artery was normal. Our case report suggests that eluting stents should be considered a precious and effective tool in preventing in-stent restenosis.
