Abstract

Recent advances in stent technology have led to the development of thin strut platforms with fewer connectors. This has improved delivery but compromised strength, as illustrated by recent cases of longitudinal compression. We present an unusual case of longitudinal shortening at the distal end of a Synergy stent.

Zusammenfassung

Neuere Fortschritte in der Stenttechnologie haben zur Entwicklung eines Designs mit dünnen Verstrebungen und weniger Verbindungsstellen geführt. Dadurch wurde die Platzierung vereinfacht, aber die Festigkeit beeinträchtigt, wie durch aktuelle Fälle mit longitudinaler Kompression veranschaulicht wird. Hier wird der ungewöhnliche Fall einer Längsverkürzung am distalen Ende eines Synergy-Stents vorgestellt.
