It was reported that stent foreshortening occurred.Vascular access was obtained via the femoral artery.The 75% stenosed, concentric, de novo target lesion was located in the 45mm length and 3mm width mildly tortuous and mildly calcified right coronary (rca) artery.A 3x38mm synergy drug eluting stent was advanced and deployed in distal rca.Then a 2.75 x 28 synergy drug eluting stent was advanced and deployed in the proximal rca.Around 3mm of longitudinal stent foreshortening was noticed after post dilatation of the 2.75 x 28 synergy stent.The physician used another of the same device to complete the procedure.No patient complications were reported and the patient status was stable.
