An orsiro drug-eluting stent system was chosen to treat a calcified lesion (90% stenosis degree) in a tortuous cx.After direct stenting the orsiro could not pass the lesion and the stent dislodged from the balloon during withdrawal.Therefore the undeployed stent was covered and tacked into place with another stent.
