Abstract

We present a case of an accidentally crushed stent due to an unnoticed passage of a guidewire through a lateral stent strut with subsequent stent compression after balloon dilatation, during a planned percutaneous coronary intervention on the left main. The crushed stent segment was reconstructed with step-by-step balloon dilation, guided by intravascular ultrasound.
