ABSTRACT
We present a case of a 52-year-old woman with iatrogenic stent deformation occurred after deployment of the left main (LM) stent due to the unintentional undermining of the proximal part of the LM stent with subsequent balloon dilatation. We tried to crush the deformed part of the LM stent against the left coronary cusp by pushing it with a guiding catheter. The deformed stent was stabilized after stent crushing and the patient didn't have any cardiovascular events. This case highlights that stent deformation could be successfully managed by crushing the deformed part of the stent to the coronary sinus.
