Difficult Stent Delivery

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Stent delivery remains challenging in complex coronary anatomy in around 5% of PCIs, despite colossal technical advances in the field of interventional cardiology. Unsuccessful stent placement is associated with inferior short and long-term outcomes. Failure of stent deployment may lead to stent embolization during withdrawal maneuvers. It is imperative to identify these lesions and plan stent delivery meticulously.
