Massive Longitudinal Stent Deformation Due to Jailed Atherectomy Wire
Key Points
To investigate the occurrence and mechanisms of longitudinal stent deformation during coronary procedures.
Observational case report detailing a specific instance of stent deformation.
Analysis of procedural techniques involving rotational atherectomy and wire mechanics.
Discussion of potential complications arising from stent deformation.
Identification of significant longitudinal stent deformation during the procedure.
Highlighting the role of atherectomy wire as a complicating factor.
Discussion of implications for modification of intervention techniques.
Abstract
This case underscores the importance of LSD as a complication during percutaneous coronary intervention and rotational atherectomy; it highlights the possible mechanisms and how to approach it.
