During the procedure an attempt was made to use a resolute onyx rx coronary drug eluting stent (2.25 x 22mm) to treat a mildly tortuous and moderately calcified lesion in the distal rca.There were no issues noted removing the device from the hoop.The lesion was pre-dilated.The device did pass through a previously-deployed stent.Resistance was encountered when advancing the device.Excessive force was used during delivery.There was a proximal lesion in the rca as well as a mid to distal lesion in the rca.The proximal lesion was pre-dilated and stented using 3.0 x 22mm resolute onyx, and post-dilated with an 3.5 nc euphora balloon.The distal lesion was then pre-dilated with a 2.0 euphora balloon and the 2.25 x 22mm stent was advanced through the proximal rca/stent to the mid-distal part of the rca.The stent could not be advanced far enough down the vessel for placement, and an attempt was made to pull back the stent to further pre-dilate the distal lesion before placing the stent.When the stent was pulled back, the stent became dislodged from the balloon when it got caught on the distal edge of the proximal 3.0 x 22 stent.A non medtronic balloon was used and was able to carry and advance the dislodged stent down the rca to the distal lesion.Multiple nc euphora balloons were then used in the stent to inflate and expand the dislodged stent and oppose it to the vessel wall.Another stent (2.25 x 12mm) was implanted over the dislodged stent at 20 atmospheres.No patient injury was reported.
