It was reported that stent damage and vessel perforation occurred.The patient presented for percutaneous coronary intervention (pci).The target lesion was located in the moderately to severely tortuous and moderately calcified left anterior descending (lad) artery.A 3.50 x 32mm synergy xd drug-eluting stent was deployed with a non-boston scientific (bsc) buddy wire jailed behind the stent.Upon removal, the jailed wire got caught with the stent and could not be removed resulting in the stent being deformed and the wire tip fracturing.The stent was then crushed against the fractured wire tip with another synergy xd drug-eluting stent deployed.However, a distal wire perforation occurred in the lad that was then resolved with coiling.No further complications were reported.
