It was reported that stent foreshortening occurred.Vascular access was obtained via the right femoral artery.The 70% stenosed, 26mm in length, eccentric, de novo target lesion was located in the mildly tortuous, moderately calcified ad 2.5mm in diameter left anterior descending artery.A 28 x 2.50 promus premier¿ drug-eluting stent was deployed to treat the lesion.However, upon removing the delivery balloon, it was visualized that the proximal marker moved far away from the proximal end of the stent but the distal marker only moved a short distance away from the distal end of the stent, which meant that the stent had foreshortened.The procedure was completed with pre-dilatation and with another promus stent.No patient complications were reported and the patient's status was stable.
