It was reported that inadequate apposition requiring intervention occurred.The 80% stenosed target lesion was located in the mildly tortuous and severely calcified left anterior descending artery.Following pre-dilation with a 2.0 x 15 balloon catheter, a 4.00 x 28 synergy ii drug-eluting stent was implanted.However, the distal end of the stent was not fully apposed to the vessel wall.The proximal end rubbed against the edge of the stent.After repeated adjusting of the position of the stent, the deployment was still not optimized.The device was withdrawn, and it was found that the metal wire at the distal end of the stent was deformed.The procedure was completed with another of same device.No patient complications were reported, and the patient status was stable.
