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 stent thrombosis, in-stent restenosis (ISR), and death. The patients were followed up for one year, and no adverse events were observed.
