Abstract:It has been rarely reported that a stuck optical coherence tomography (OCT)
catheter can lead to longitudinal stent deformation (LSD). This complication can
result in incomplete stent apposition and dissection after stent implantation. In
this study, we present a case where a bailout stent was implanted in the distal
segment of the left anterior descending artery (LAD) after longitudinal stent
deformation caused by a stuck OCT catheter. This approach was taken to prevent
acute stent thrombosis, subacute … Show more
