First-in-Man Clinical Use of Combined Near-Infrared Spectroscopy and Intravascular Ultrasound: A Potential Key to Predict Distal Embolization and No-Reflow?

After the procedure, the patient experienced mild transient chest discomfort without electrocardiographic changes, but cardiac enzymes were elevated (troponin T 0.89 ng/ml, creatine kinase 239 U/l, myocardial band fraction 10%).
