Abstract:
The use of intracoronary stents has greatly impacted on the practice of interventional cardiology. Complications due to equipment failure during deployment of stents are rare but potentially serious. We report a case of a malfunctioning Multi-Link delivery system and the successful treatment of the resulting complications.
