It was reported that slow flow occurred.
The target lesion was located in the calcified left main (lm) to left anterior descending artery (lad).
Following predilatation, a 3.
50 x 20 synergy stent was deployed at nominal pressure.
The lesion was post dilated with a 4 x 8mm balloon, and with a proximal optimisation technique (pot) in the lm at nominal 12 atmospheres, but slow flow and a fracture in the proximal end of the stent was noted.
Another stent was deployed to cover the fracture.
Post stent deployment, the flow was good.
Post dilatation was performed with a 4 x 8mm balloon, and the procedure was completed.
No further patient complications resulted in relation to this event, and the patient was reported to be good and stable post procedure.
