It was reported that stent fracture and damage post-deployment occurred requiring intervention.The patient presented with coronary artery disease (cad).Percutaneous coronary intervention (pci) was performed.Following pre-dilation, a 4.00 x 16mm synergy xd drug-eluting stent was deployed in ostial right coronary artery.The stent delivery system was then removed, and angioplasty was performed.During the angioplasty, it was observed that the proximal stent was in question of expansion, and it was decided to perform an intravascular ultrasound (ivus) using non-boston scientific (bsc) device.Under ivus, it was noted that the stent had not fully expanded.A 4.5x12 nc quantum apex was then placed and would not expand the stent either, so the physician decided to use a shockwave with a 4.0x12 sw balloon.Upon inflation and delivery of the shocks, it was noted that the stent had a malformation.The shockwave balloon was removed, and the proximal edge part of the stent with the crown was snapped in half.The stent remained in the patient and was scheduled for open heart surgery to retrieve the broken part of the stent.The patient was stable post-procedure and is expected to fully recover.
