Abstract

Longitudinal stent deformation is defined as a compression of stent length after its implantation. It's a rare complication but dangerous seen with several stents. We reported a case of longitudinal stent deformation during bifurcation lesion treatment with a Promus Element(®) and we perform a short review of this complication.

Keywords: Compression longitudinale de stent; Longitudinal stent deformation; Mecanisms; Mécanismes; Proximal Optimisation Technique; Traitements; Treatment.
