Angiographically Detected Longitudinal Stent Deformation with Cobalt Chromium Stent: A Case Report

Sujith Kumar S, MD, DM, FACC

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: 2024/06/30

Longitudinal stent deformation (LSD) is a rare complication of angioplasty and stenting reported in about 1-1.5% of angioplasties [1-3]. The use of more and more complex devices and post-dilatation to ensure proper stent apposition leads to the increasing number of devices to track in and out of the deployed stent. This can lead to deformations of the deployed stent [1-3]. Longitudinal stent deformation is recognized as shortening of the stent with crowding of the struts of the stent on fluorosc...
