It was reported that a stent damage occurred.Vascular access was obtained via the femoral artery.A percutaneous coronary intervention (pci) was preformed on a 95% stenosed, 15 x 3.5mm, concentric, de novo target lesion with less than or equal to 45 degree bend, concentric shape, located in the mildly tortuous and non-calcified mid left circumflex (lcx) artery.A semi compliant balloon was advanced to dilate the target lesion.Following predilatation, a 20 x 3.50 promus elite stent was advanced to the target lesion and deployed.It was noted that significant resistance occurred while advancing the device.Following stent deployment, a 12 x 3.5 nc balloon was used to dilate the lesion.Following post dilatation, distortion in the stent structure was observed on the distal part of the stent.Stent boost reconfirmed that the distal part of the stent appeared to be elongated and had lost its structure.Another stent device was advanced and deployed across the segment to complete the procedure.No patient complications resulted in relation to this event and the patient was reported to be stable following the procedure.
