Implantation of the Wiktor coronary stent can lead to stent shortening and elongation due to its coil structure, resulting in major cardiac events that may require semiurgent bypass surgery.
Case Report
The Wiktor coronary stent's unique coil structure can lead to stent shortening and elongation, causing major cardiac events that may require semiurgent bypass surgery.
This report demonstrates two specific complications that occurred during implantation of a Wiktor (Medtronic, Inc., Minneapolis, MN) coronary stent: stent shortening and elongation were observed and attributed to the unique coil structure of the device. Major cardiac events occurred during follow-up as a consequence of this stent deformation. Therefore, semiurgent bypass surgery should be considered to treat this complication.
Vogt et al. (Tue,) conducted a case report in Coronary artery disease requiring stenting. Wiktor coronary stent was evaluated on Stent shortening and elongation leading to major cardiac events. Implantation of the Wiktor coronary stent can lead to stent shortening and elongation due to its coil structure, resulting in major cardiac events that may require semiurgent bypass surgery.
