It was reported that stent damage post deployment occurred.Vascular access was obtained via the right radial artery.The 80% stenosed, 22mm long, concentric, de novo target lesion was located in the severely tortuous and non-calcified left main artery.Following pre-dilation with a 2.50 x 20 mm non-boston scientific (non-bsc) balloon, there was 20% residual stenosis.The 3.50 x 38 mm promus elite stent was deployed to treat the target lesion, however, during post-dilation with a non-bsc nc balloon, the proximal end of the stent was fractured.A 4.00 x 12 mm non-bsc stent was deployed inside the promus elite.There were no patient complications reported and the patient condition following the procedure was stable.
