Coronary perforation during insertion of a long stent in a severely calcified lesion.

ABSTRACT: We reported a case that the insertion of a 48-mm-long stent in a calcified coronary lesion after rotational atherectomy led to stent stacking and S-shaped flection, resulting in longitudinal coronary perforation without stent inflation. Its flexibility and length pose a possible risk of deformation inside the vessel during stent insertion.
