Heart Views. 2017 Apr-Jun;18(2):58-61. doi: 10.4103/1995-705X.208674.

Abstract

Longitudinal stent deformation (LSD) is a rare complication but can occur during coronary intervention. We report a case with LSD of the distal edge, documented by an optical coherence tomography investigation and successfully recovered.

Keywords: Optical coherence tomography imaging; percutaneous coronary intervention; stent deformation.
