Regarding acute myocardial infarction, prolonged inflation with a perfusion balloon had higher frequency of non-stent-related interventions than that of semi-compliant or non-compliant balloons. In this case, the perfusion balloon resulted in chest pain and hypotension. Perfusion balloon-based kissing balloon technique was useful in this setting. Optical coherence tomography revealing the responsible lesions can help determine the cause of acute myocardial infarction in young patients; in our case, a layered plaque was observed. Layered plaques are associated with coronary spasm; therefore, initiating treatment of coronary spasm was considered herein.
