It was reported that insufficient apposition, removal difficulty, vessel perforation, acute thrombosis, and myocardial infarction were encountered.The 80% stenosed target lesion was located in the moderately tortuous and mildly calcified distal circumflex artery.A 2.25 x 32mm synergy xd drug-eluting stent was advanced for treatment.However, upon inflation, the stent balloon was only able to inflate to 3 atmospheres before losing pressure which resulted in a partially deployed stent.The physician tried to remove the balloon but it was stuck.He pulled back the balloon harder which freed the balloon but it caused the wire to jump forward resulting in a perforation of the artery.The device was removed intact and a hypotube kink was noted.Atrial fibrillation and subsequent thrombosis were encountered and the patient experienced st-segment elevation myocardial infarction.The patient's artery was coiled off to treat the perforation.No further complications were reported and the patient status post-procedure was stable.
