Abstract

Intracoronary ultrasound (IVUS) facilitates optimal stent deployment in the treatment of coronary artery disease, which may favorably improve long-term outcome after stenting. Complications associated with IVUS include coronary vasospasm and rarely more serious adverse events such as vessel perforation or stent deformation. We report an IVUS catheter tip entrapment within a self-deploying nitinol stent.
