It was reported that a dissection occurred.Vascular access was obtained via the radial artery.A percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty was performed on a moderately tortuous and moderately calcified left anterior descending artery (lad).A 4.00 x 38 synergy ii drug eluting stent was deployed in the lad.Following deployment, a distal edge dissection was noted in the distal part of the stent.To cover the edge dissection, another 4.00 x 38 synergy was deployed distal to the first stent, overlapping it, and covered the edge dissection.The procedure was successfully completed, and the patient was reported to be stable.
