Abstract

Focal ultrashort balloons are essential tools for lesion preparation and final stent expansion. However, they may cause a major distortion of the adjacent segments. Here we report a case with a stent deformation emphasizing the importance of utilizing intravascular imaging techniques for optimal interventions.

Keywords: Deformation; Optical coherence tomography; Stent.
