Abstract
Longitudinal deformation of coronary stent detected by transesophageal echocardiography
Highlights
More deliverable and flexible methods have enabled more complex coronary disease cases to be managed with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Both strut thickness and the number of fixed connectors within cells has been reduced in new stents to help achieve increased flexibility
Longitudinal deformation of coronary stent detected by transesophageal echocardiography
Coronary stents have become thinner and, more deliverable. While these changes have enabled the treatment of more complex cases and lesions, those formerly considered untreatable with PCI, they may affect longitudinal stent stability
