It was reported that stent damage post deployment occurred.Vascular access was obtained via the radial artery.The 8mmx4mm, target lesion was located in the non-tortuous ostial left main coronary artery.After predilation was performed, a 4.00 x 8 synergy drug-eluting stent was deployed for treatment.However, after post dilation with a 4.50 balloon, imaging revealed struts of the stent were fractured.Angiography and intravascular ultrasound were done and the stent was left implanted in the patient with no further actions taken.There were no patient complications reported and the patient status was stable.

It was reported that stent damage post deployment occurred.Vascular access was obtained via the radial artery.The 8mmx4mm, target lesion was located in the non-tortuous ostial left main coronary artery.After pre-dilation was performed, a 4.00 x 8 synergy drug-eluting stent was deployed for treatment.However, after post dilation with a 4.50 balloon, imaging revealed struts of the stent were fractured.Angiography and intravascular ultrasound were done and the stent was left implanted in the patient with no further actions taken.There were no patient complications reported and the patient status was stable.It was further reported that pre and post intravascular ultrasound (ivus) imaging of the target lesion was done and minimal calcification was found.The synergy stent was post dilated and apposition was checked using ivus.After deformities were found, computed tomography angiography (cta) was performed which revealed stent struts seemed to be broken.The physician decided that as the flow remained, no attempt would be made to snare or remove the stent.
