It was reported that stent dislodgment and difficulty in position occurred requiring additional intervention.The 90% stenosed target lesion was located in the moderately tortuous and severely calcified left anterior descending (lad) artery.After a non-boston scientific (bsc) guide catheter and a non-bsc guide wire were positioned, pre-dilation was performed with a 2.50 x 15 mm nc q apex balloon catheter and a synergy 2.50 x 24 mm stent was deployed distally.A 3.00 x 20 mm synergy drug-eluting stent was advanced for treatment in the proximal lad with overlap to the distal stent.The physician had difficulty placing the stent into the lesion and when attempted to remove it, the stent was dislodged from the delivery system.A parallel wire was then inserted, and a synergy 3.00 x 16 mm stent was deployed, crushing the dislodged stent and with overlap to the distal stent.The stent was then post dilated adequately.The procedure was completed, and no patient complications were reported.
