It was reported that premature stent deployment occurred.The target lesion, with a 50% stenosis, was located in the moderately tortuous and severely calcified diagonal artery.A 2.25 x 16 synergy balloon catheter was advanced for treatment.The stent was unable to advance through the lesion, preventing balloon inflation.Upon removal from the patient, it was noted that the struts were open, prematurely deployed.The procedure was completed using a different device.No patient complications or injuries were reported.
